Recovery with Unallocated space.
My PC has two drives: 1.The Samsung SSD of size 238.5 GB. It has an Unallocated space 23.85 GB, created by the Samsung Magician for Over Provision (10%). 2.The WD HDD of size 931.5 GB. User folders (Downloads, Documents, etc.) were relocated from the SSD Windows 7(C:) onto the HDD Data (D:). So the drive Data (D:) is not totally independent from drive Windows 7(C:).
I created backup image of the SSD and HDD using Rescue Media CD. I selected all partitions:
Disk 1:
-NTFS (Windows 7) (C:)
-NTFS (System Reserved) (M:)
-MBR and Track0
Disk 2:
- NTFS (Data) (D:)
-MBR and Track 0
What is the safest method to recover partitions of the SSD and HDD from this backup on the same SSD and HDD? Is it better to use “Add New Disk” option before performing the disks recovery. I am not afraid to loose data on the drive Data (D:) because I scheduled file and folder backup of the Data (D:) every night.
