Connected new SSD disk direct to SATA port on motherboard and restored from backup target using bare metal restore.
Hi: A company called me for help as their server showing no drives detected and will not boot.  PowerEdge T320 with PERC H310 RAID controller.  Two 1 TB SAS drives supposedly in RAID 1 cfg.  However, RAID controller cfg. not showing any Virtual Disks, detecting only the two physical discs.  Tried to create a new Virtual Disk RAID 1 w/using both physical disks, WITHOUT initializing so as to avoid data loss, but still will not boot.  Accessed RAID controller cfg. again and Virtual Disk gone and controller detecting only 1 of the physical disks..  I think RAID controller has failed. They have a backup to an externally attached USB drive using Windows Server Backup.  Server is a Domain Controller. I should be able to use new disk, install Windows Server 2012 R2 Std., and recover from backup using Windows Server Backup program, correct?  Any gotchas? Thanks so much for any input! Bob H.
