No support for ICHR 8/9 Raid controllers

Why does TI 11 not support ICHR 8/9 Raid controllers but does support nVidia raid controllers? Been pulling my hair out trying to get it to work. It will make a backup from Windows of the XP partition installed on Intel raid0 to an external drive but can't find the drive to copy recovery partition to. It finds the external drive only. Product is useless on Intel boards. It works great on my nF4 raid0 installation. If you have a raid controller on your board, why wouldn't you install windows on a raid array? Product is incomplete.

Glad I found this forum and learned of TI 11 short comings.

 

If you're talking about the ATI BootCD recognizing some drives, I think it would if Acronis could make it so. It seems to have been hard to nail down with the new version of linux that Acronis is using on the version 11 bootCD. However, the boot disks various builds of ATI11 will work with somewhat diff sets of hardware. For example, interim buld 11.8052 from Tech Support will recognize a RAID array on my Intel ICH6R Express Chipset, but 11.8048 and official release 11.8053 positively won't. Go figure. Otoh, ATI10 won't recognize a drive connected to a Silicon Image 3132 chipset controller but ATI 11 will.

Alternatives abound, including contact Tech Support (answering a few technical info requests and then gettings one ISO file or another to make a bootcd that might work for you. Making a VistaPE disk (costs couple of bucks for the script). Making a BartPE disk.
