[QUOTE="Langston Holland, post: 23197, member: 171"] Re: Windows 7 SP1 Hey Silas: I bought a new MacBook Pro 17" recently and decided to give Windows 7 (ultimate) a try in both 32 and 64 bit formats even though XP was working flawlessly for what I need Windows for: hosting my 32 bit measurement and recording software as well as their external USB and Firewire hardware devices. I found (as expected) that the compatibility of the 32 bit OS was necessary and its increased speed was nice, though subtle. It was fun seeing all 8 gigs of RAM in use with the 64 bit OS, but that was its only advantage. In a few years things will catch up I'm sure. I'm getting pretty fluent with Win 7 at this point and absolutely love it. The internals of the audio driver model are completely different and vastly superior to XP. I almost considered ditching OSX and living entirely in Windows. One of my children said he would be ashamed of me if I did that - but I almost did until I put about a week on it and remembered why I like OSX better for most of life. :) To the point: SP1 hates anything non-standard with disk access. Your cloned drive might not be the issue - it might be the RAID array - or vice versa - or both. I had a similar problem a few days ago, but due to a low level utility that allows Win 7 to use the HFS+ formatting of my OSX partition natively. I'm the OP on this: [url]http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1835695#post1835695[/url] Microsoft's take: [url]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/windows-7-windows-server-2008-r2-service-pack-1-sp1-installation-error-0x800F0A12[/url] [/QUOTE]
