TI 2009 Startup Recovery Manager image is damaged and the partitions are changed
I wanted to recover an image of my partition C with TI 2009 Startup Recovery Manager. I have Windows XP Professional. When I started the recovering there came a message that the image is maybe damaged. I rebooted the PC and tried it again and there came the same message. When I then looked at my drives the partition H was now partition C and the assistant showed me that there is a non defined partition and that was my partition C.
When I try to boot my system there comes the message no operating system found. I guess the PC is searching for it on drive C that was before H and there is no system installed on it.
Do you have any clue why Acronis changed the names of the partitions? Do you know any possibility to access my data on C that Acronis says it is not defined? Do you know a possibility how to make the old drive C to drive C and access it?

workaround on broken images:
I recently had the problem that the image was broken for whatever reason.
I mounted the image, formated the HDD using ADD HARDDISC from the ACRONIS HOME menu.
Then copied all files from the mounted drive to the harddrive.
The HDD would not boot due to "NTLDR missing". I ran the windows setup boot-cd twice, selecting "install" and afterwards directly "repair"
The setup (vista) would scan for a already installed system and repaired the HDD first time not correctly. But I did the boot CD a second time and it repaired the NTLDR.
Now it runs with no problems.
