Partition letters, will it work?

Thread needs solution

Hello

My system is simple, one physical drive with C: and D: partitions and E: as DVD-drive. Six months ago I did a complete disk image using TI 2013 (I did it from within Windows). A few days ago I used a recovery disk and the restore went fine. Before I started I noticed that the 100 mb reserved partition, the C: and D: did not have any drive letters just a -. I just hit recover and it ended up good.

After recovery I updated windows and other programs and made a new image, this time from the recovery media. It said the verification came out ok.

After booting up from recover media again this image now have drive letters. C: and D: which is ok but the system reserved partition now has designation E: which previously was my DVD-rom. Will this matter or can I just recover and the DVD-rom will be moved to F:?

Hello Fredrik,

Acronis Standard Bootable Media is Linux-based and it uses default Linux rules for assigning drive letters. In some cases the drive letters that you see while booting from media may differ from the ones assigned in Windows.

Please check this article for more details.

Thank you.

From wihin Windows, if the 100mb partition shows a drive letter, you can remove the drive letter using the Windows Disk Management console and upon reboot, the CD device should resume its old letter.
