Greetings,
Well that's it I give up ! I have spent the last 4 days trying to create and successfully recover from all the latest drive image softwares. Paragon HDM 12, Acronis 2014 etc.
Ive tried injecting the rapid storage raid drivers and also removing the acceleration but nothing works correctly. Acronis 2014 actually worked after disabling the acceleration but it broke the F11 restore.
I have read that the windows backup method works but I was looking for a method outside of the OS without using the recovery DVD's which fortunately was the first thing I created.
I just wanted to make a pre first boot image... Anybody has success ?
