Someplace I heard that the latest RaQ2 CD won't restore a RaQ1,
But, that there is an older version that will.
search the archives for RaQ1 restore or look in the KB

There must be an option to select RAQ1-->RAQ2 software restore
I have also heard that you have to restore as a RaQ1 first then do a RaQ1-->Raq2
