![]() Hi ITRanger I tried Clonezilla on an old RAID 1 hard drive and got the same result as you. I also tried it with 'dmraid=false' and 'nodmraid' with same result. I even repeated that with latest Clonezilla. Clonezilla is a partition or disk clone tool similar to Norton Ghost. It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive. Two types of Clonezilla are. P Conversions (Virtual- to- Physical) - Convert VM to Physical. 3 by Eric Siron 1. Hyper- V Articles. Virtual- to- Physical conversion is a very rare procedure, but the need does sometimes arise. Seems strange that others have managed it. I guess you need to try other techniques: 1. Some cloning software claim they can handle it and some give you a period of usage to try it out for free. There are various dd techniques that you can try. 3, The Arch Linux has advice/instructions 4. If you have two good hard drives in your RAID, you should be able to go through the process of replacing one with another hard drive and keep it as a spare. Best of luck. I will follow this to see what other advice you get. I have a not-so-recent HP desktop PC (model# m9510f, Q8200 CPU - I think it was manufactured in early 2009 sometime, because it still had Vista 64-bit). I've set it up with a pair of 500GB drives that I want to run in RAID0 striped mode (for higher performance and lower reliability). I've successfully setup the RAID in the BIOS, and it is recognized at boot time. Only problem is, Clonezilla won't recognize the RAID0, so I can't very well restore the OS. I could just reinstall from the recovery disks, but then I suppose I also won't be able to make Clonezilla backups either. Clonezilla only sees the individual drives. What's the best way to get around this issue? Clonezilla doesn't support software-based or firmware-based (aka 'FakeRAID') arrays. From what I understand your HP system has an Asus-made MB in it with an Intel ICH9R chipset. If you used that to make your RAID 0 then Clonezilla can't do anything with it. From their (under 'Limitations'): Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default. From their: Q: Does Clonezilla support RAID? A: Clonezilla does support hardware RAID, if your RAID device is seen as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/cciss/c0d0. On GNU/Linux. Clonezilla does support this. On the other hand, if it's Linux software RAID, no, Clonezilla does not support that. See for a recent Clonezilla forum thread about using it (or rather, NOT using it) with firmware-based arrays. Can't help you with Clonezilla as it appears from the previous poster that it simply will not work. If that's the case, use something else.
