Recovery startup problem

Changed raid controller on server and need to boot to recovery to move backup image to array. System won't boot to Recovery or WinPe disks. How do I get to a point to load controller drivers?

 

WinPE Recvoery CD has special option to Load Drivers. You need to find appropriate HDD controller drivers for Win7\Vista x32 for upload, unpack them (if they are saved in EXE of ZIP file) and put on any external USB drive.

Then boot from WinPE CD with USB drive connected and run Load drivers tool. Point the wizard to the unpacked driver and wait until it will be loaded. Then run program from the main menu of WinPE CD and make sure that your RAID is shown as 1 Hard Drive.

Note: If RAID is not recognized correctly, do not run the restore . Try to find another driver for your RAID controller.
