When recovering, one of my partitions is called 1-5, what the hell?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

One of my partitions when restoring from a backup is called 1-5. What does this mean? Why is the other drive properly named but one of the partitions called 1-5? Please someone help me out and explain this, thank you.

Hello Justin Hansen,

Thank you very much for your post. I will be happy to assist you.

I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but unfortunately without additional information, it will be difficult to answer your question. Can you please let me know the following.

1. Is this Windows or bootable CD recovery?

2. Can you make a screenshot/photo of the 1-5 partition? It will greatly help us to resolve this.

3. Can you please make a screenshot of your disk manager in Windows? (right click on my computer->manage->disk management)

4. Which Operating system are you using and which software and what build?

If you require immediate assistance, I would suggest to contact our support directly.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or require additional assistance.

Thank you.

This may or may not be related to your issue.

Primary partitions are numbered 1,2,3,4 as only four are permitted.
The first logical partition will begin with 5 even if 2,3,4 does not exist.
or at least, this is how I understand partition numbering for Windows.
