[18th Anniversary] Asus Black Pearl - P5k-Premium Testing Report

[sesdave]

I think I'm just going to go with a fresh install. I have a bit of reading to do now though so thanks ses for the info and the direction

Being doing some more investigation after response from Fritzman re Acronis Tue Image Home 11 with the P5k and ICH9R. Current version 8053 works fine in Vista and Winxp creating backups and sees Raid so you can create full operating system image(raid0) and incremental backups on the RAid 1/5/10 patyition. Current issue is that their supplied recovery bootcd for when the RAID0 system fails and you want to restore the disk image cant see RAID when it boots on this MB -
Looking at this link http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=189038 it appears that if you buy the product then contact the tech support they give you another boot ISO image to try out. The latest vesion is 8053 this was 8040. When all else fails you build your own bootcd using Bartpe or Vista PE - This forum gives all the links to all the deatils required to build either .http://www.wilderssecurity.com/searc...archid=2142255 So a bit fiddly getting a working bootCD if the one Acronis tech supply doesnt work but you end up with a working backup/restore system that will save a lot of time in the event of a RAID0 crash.
