Steve, thank you again for your input. My attachment demonstrates the confusion as to where to restore, I want to restore to Boot Disc C but it is not to be found

Form the images you seem to be using ATI recovery media. When using the recovery media disk letters are assigned by the recovery media, and they may not correspond to those you see when using Windows. In your case the system disk has been assigned D as the drive number - if has not changed the drive number, it is just using a different number. For this reason it is always a good idea to give disk drives (rather partitions) a meaningful name, such as "Ian-Ryzen-Monster C drive" and "Ian-Ryzen-Monster Data drive".
Hope this helps.

Peter, ditto to Ian's comments - drive letters in the rescue media are not the same as seen in Windows, so you have to ensure you can easily identify your drives / partitions by using labels that leave nothing to chance!
I use the KISS principle and simply use labels that show the drive purpose as shown below.
On some systems I add the drive letter too, i.e. 'Windows-C', 'Data-D' etc - I normally do this when my older PC's have the habit of changing drive letters and I can then see easily what has changed if the letter shown in brackets doesn't match the label, i.e. Data-D (E:).
