The other day RAID Degraded message showed up and I replace both HD that were in RAID1. Then, I tried to restore from backup created by Clonezilla.

Problem:- When both HD were connected and configured as RAID1, restore progressed fine but after 100% status, nothing on HD, no OS, no boot. Disconnected one drive from RAID1 (message shows RAID volume as degraded in BIOS) and restore worked fine and could reboot to Vista without problem. Then took Vista update without problem. Now, connected the other RAID drive and clicked on "Windows update" button, I get the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart computer." Started the computer three times but no go. Checked the update service and it is running fine.
Also googled and tried various solutions without success.

What the heck is going on?
 
Sounds like you restored the RAID1 array to a single drive. You then have no RAID array. The other drive sounds like it is corrupted. I think you need to rebuild your RAID1 array if that is what you want.

Source was the back up of the same earlier RAID volume.

What don't understand is once one HD is restored, Intel Matrix Storage Console 3.7 responsible for rebuilding should mirror the second (later added) drive. But it does not. What is the explanation?
 
OK - if it were mine, I would replace the RAID Controller software.
