Hi, I have Windows 7x64 Ultimate SP1 installed in a RAID0 configuration of 2 SSD's. Everything is working fine. I cloned the Windows installation using Acronis True Image Home 2014 (using boot CD) to a single SSD drive and Disk Clone operation was successful (according to TIH).I physically removed the two SSD's and replaced them with the cloned SSD, went to BIOS to set SATA to AHCI (it was previously set to RAID), then rebooted and get the following message:
I get the same message if instead of cloning the system I do a backup/restore. Also, if I press the F8 key to show the boot options and I choose it to boot from the new clone disk I get the following message:
Any suggestions? Thanks

Run the "repair your computer" option up to 3 times rebooting each time.
If this fails to solve the boot problem send a screen shot of your screen seen by entering "Disk Management". Instructions for completing the repair using the command line "bootrec" can then be provided.

As above I would check boot order first and put the new target drive 2nd after the optical drive if the rig has one.

Thanks everyone for your replies. As mjf suggested, I did a Windows Repair with the Win7 installation DVD and the OS boots perfectly now. It was able to repair it almost instantly on the first try, no need for 2 or 3 reboots. I checked the boot priority in BIOS and that didn't seem to be the issue. I suspect that the problem is with Acronis, somehow it doesn't like to clone or restore a RAID array onto a single drive.
For anyone interested I posted some benchmark results HERE
