When you restore partitions,, while in the restore program, the drive letter assisngments might not be the same as in windows. Ignore the drive letters and use volume name or disk IDs to distinguish between partitions. IF there is a system reserved partitin in the backup be sure that it is marked as Active in the recovry (it's usually 10-100mb). It's the only partitin that should be marked active, regardless of what drive letters you see.

If you want to be able to control all this, dont check the track0/mbr box and then you can specify the size, location and type of each paartitiion--then you can resotre the track0/mbr as a last step.

When I restored my Image to a clean partition (A clean drive with 2 partitions) I ended up with Recycle.Bin, Boot, System Volume Information, and bootmgr on my Data drive. I'm not sure what to do about this?

Richard,
Is the backup *.tib file a full and complete backup and includes all partitions including the non-lettered partitions?

If yes, would you be willing to do another restore to a blank disk? If yes, do you want the newly restored partitions to be the same size as the old partitions. If no, what changes are you wanting?

Where is your backup file stored?

Is this a Win7 install and which version of TrueImageHome?

Once, I receive your response, then we can determine a response.
