Cloning a Windows installation (RAID 0) to single SSD (non-RAID) fails
Hi All,
I've got a Windows 10 Home install running on a pair of 120GB SSDs running in RAID 0 (striped) - seemed like a good idea at the time.....ho-hum.... :/
Have now run out of space and want to move to a bigger (single) SSD. I used Macrium Reflect to clone the partitions across to the new single SSD (no problem there), then disconnected the RAID array leaving the new SSD attached.
The Intel SATA raid thingie now detects on boot that there is no longer a RAID, but Windows won't boot. It takes me straight to the blue "something's not right" page saying that there is some hardware missing...sorry can't remember the error at the moment.
I cannot get to the recovery mode (pressing F8 - does nothing). How can I tell windows that the RAID has gone and there is now a single boot drive in operation?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Jon
