Raid Promise MBFastTrack133 Compatibility

I have an older system with the following specs:

Asus A7V333 w/Onboard Promise MBFasttrack133 Raid Controller
1GB DDR400 Memory
Two 80GB Drives, Striped, 2 Partitions

While Acronis TrueImage v9 recognizes my raid array in WinXP, it can't make sense of it while in the rescue environment. It either recognizes two independent drives or a single unified drive with an erroneous capacity rating. I have a couple questions...

A) Is support for the promise fasttrack133 raid controller lacking in this version of trueimage v9.0?
B) Can I modify the rescue media somehow to use drivers the MBFasttrack133 drivers?
C) I have 2 partitions, one for all my system files and programs; the other for storage. If I store my backup images on the second partition in the striped raid array, Acronis won't destroy both partitions trying to restore the primary, will it?

Thanks so much,
Pacal

 

Try booting TI in it's "safe mode".
