How to Clone a hard drive that has RAID-1 to another hard drive and make it bootable?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am trying to clone a hard drive that is in RAID-1 and be able to boot that targeted hard drive. I am using Win 7 and the hard drives are identical. Acronis solution would not boot. An image copy through the Windows program also would not boot.
Are there any ideas out there?

You will have to find a program, that supports clonning a RAID array, there isn't one built into Windows 7. There appears to be several that can do the job though.

Don't do it from within windows - RAID1 is just a mirror, so fire up a linux VM and use it to clone one of the RAID1 drives (if the drives are identical, this shouldn't be a big problem).
