Dear Sir

For my case, my device is being used for monitoring the machine. It is now running with only one disk. I need to add a second SSD for RAID1. please see my scenario below:

Scenario1

  1. Backup OS (Windows10) as "Entire System" image.

2. Backup OS (Windows10) as "Volume Disk0" image.

  1. Install the second SSD to my device
  2. Boot Windows and configure RAID1 via "Intel Optane memory and storage management"

5. RAID1 Sync with complete status.

  1. Reboot device. Result = Blue Screen.
    Scenario2
  2. Configure RAID 1 via BIOS
  3. Restore OS to RAID1 disk by using "Entire System" image.
  4. Restore completed. Reboot device. Result = Blue Screen.

Scenario3

  1. Configure RAID 1 via BIOS
  2. Restore OS to RAID1 disk by using "Volume Disk0" image.
  3. Restore completed. Reboot device. Result = Blue Screen.

My question:

Is this problem caused by using a backup image that comes from the Windows with no RAID configuration?

Thanks

    Hi SuperUserOX,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Based on similar cases from different communities, your speculation is a possible direction.

    The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) you're experiencing after setting up RAID1 and restoring from a backup image could be related to the situation that the backup image was created from a Windows system with no RAID configuration.

    When you restore a system image to a RAID array, the system expects the RAID drivers to be present.

    If the original system did not have RAID configured, the necessary RAID drivers might not be included in the system image. This could cause the system to fail to boot, resulting in a BSOD.

    I wish I could provide more detailed analysis, however, analyzing issues related to RAID requires deeper knowledge of the principles of redundancy, data backup and recovery technologies, which is beyond our technical reserves.

    The issue on RAID is out of reach of the response support community. For further professional assistance, it is more suitable for publishing on Microsoft Learn (English only), you can click on "Ask a question", there are experts who can provide more professional insights in that place.
