What settings are needed to restore a standard HD partition image to a SSD that’s partitioned with a 1 MiB sector in front of the partition (every partition on the SSD is created with a 1 MiB sector in front so the drive partitions are aligned – GParted is used for this process)
I’m not sure how to get at this disk scenario.
1. I have a raid 1 using LSI raid manager the boot sector is for the RAID setup
2. I need to eliminate the RAID without a complete reformat and install.
3. The systems disk is MBR appears to be the only difference, in that the disk is 100% readable if it was taken out and put in another standard system but it’s not capable of booting
4. Are there system restore settings that would be used so a systems image could be backed up, then convert the hardware to non-Raid, and then restore the systems partition that was previously backed-up?

Re: Settins with SSD and a Raid issue
You'd enable the global option for 2048 sector alignment then do a restore
and use the align to target option (for entire drive restores) for single
partition through the UI will restore aligned to target automatically.
Typically you can break the mirror without any issues and set them up as
individual drives.
