Mystery screen during Restore using CD boot rescue

Thread needs solution

Main HDD failed. Acronis image of C: drive exists in external HDD.
I Use Acronis Add New Disk on new HDD, same size as failed HDD.
I create partitions same size as on failed disk.
I fit the new disk to replace failed disk.

Boot from CD.
Select backup file to restore from.
Choose target in "Partition 2-1" screen - I do not understand the name, but Help says that Choose Target is what I should do. [Next]
Screen appears asking for location of "Partition C".
I do not understand the name.
Calling Help gets the same Help page as before.
In the subsequent ChooseFile Dialog, the target location is greyed out. In multiple attempts, sometimes I can select it, and sometimes not. When I can and doselect it, a number of partitions over 3 drives are selected also.
I have already selected Source and Target. I do not see why another decision is needed. I cannot proceed until a choice is made, and I cannot make the choice that seems most likely to be useful.

De-obfuscation will be very welcome.

Do the restore the easy way. As you restoring to the same size disk, follow the instructions as listed in item #2 at this l ink.
