Thanks for your reply.  I had interpreted your post of "2011-04-13 01:13:00" to mean that you had added an updated bit of code to the MassStorage 11.01 release -- and thus the problem was fixed at that level.  I presume that either I (a) misinterpreted said post, or (b) your "slipstream" effort didn't work.

Seems to me that I don't need the ql2300 driver for my Dell Perc card, so I'll follow the suggestion of removing that entry from the .inf file.

FYI, I have added "xxclone" to my plugins, so I think that I can now use the PartPE disc to migrate data from a RAID 5 array to a RAID 1 array.  With drives getting larger and cheaper, I'm gradually migrating from RAID 5 to RAID 1.  I figure that performance will be comparable, but my main objective is higher reliability.  I like knowing that each drive is a fully functional and usable copy.  And fewer physcial drives surely equates to higher overall MTBF for the system.

Further FYI, and perhaps in case anyone has any suggestions, I use "xxcopy" to copy my "data" drives (eg, the "D" drive with user data) over a VPN to another server (which also has RAID 1) several miles away.  This happens at night.  Runs pretty fast.  Is simple.  And the final touch is that I use "fsum" at each to build a complete list of files with MD5 checksums.  An automated script then does a diff of the fsum output on site A against the fsum output on site B, and I can "prove" that my backups work, are readable, and have integrity.

thanks,
john
