Imaging & Restoring Windows 11/10 on NVMe RAID Controllers
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2025 3:14 am
Hello everyone,
I am building a new high-end workstation and have encountered some unusual stability issues when attempting to image and restore the primary NVMe volume.
When imaging a VMD-configured array, is it better practice to image the individual partitions or strictly the raw sectors/blocks of the entire virtual drive to maximize compatibility? Are there specific Windows PE environments or diagnostic tools you rely on to manage the VMD driver dependency before attempting the restore operation?
