Unable to select destination for restoration using Acronis13/Windows 8

Thread needs solution

I have backed up my entire C disc using Acronis 13 and need to restore to the original spot on my desktop PC using Windows 8. Although I have (at last) been able to boot from the Acronis start up disc and can go through the selection of the backup source, when I try to specify the destination I have no choice but to 'select' it a 'new' destination - even though I want it in its original place - and then I get into an endless loop of selecting the destination

When you restore a partition, you have to specify the new location. It might not be new, but it is called this way. Make sure you select the right destination as the recovery CD might show you drive letters that are different from the ones that windows shows you.

Also, check out link #3 below inside my signature and look at item #3 which illustrates/explains what you want to do.
