alright, i just tried the clone again from windows... this time when it rebooted, it worked. it's all done cloning now, and it worked perfectly.. the cloned drive boot up the first time.

I'm guessing the software needed drivers loaded to properly recognize the raid array instead of two separate drives. So running it from within Windows provided those drivers and everything else ran fine from there.

I've seen cases like this before when cloning, sometimes drives just aren't recognized correctly by the cloning software (especially if they're on non-standard IDE controllers). But it usually works out ok if you start the process from Windows and do a reboot.

Glad to hear it worked out for you!
