Drive letters in ATI Home 2011 Plus Pack differ from drive letters shown in Windows when ATI Rescue Environment is used

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I have to recover my Win7 system partition (C under Win7 Disk Management). When starting the Linux-based ATI from CD, my Win7 letter changed to F, and the Vista letter from my second HDD changed to C. When I recover the Win7 partition, do I have to choose the Win7 (F) or the initial drive letter C, which is the Vista drive letter under ATI Rescue Environment?

The Linux environment assigns drive letters differently than windows. Assign labels to each partition so you can identify them properly. See the attached file for an example.

Okay, the name of my Win7 drive is "BOOT" and the Vista drive name is "Vista". Then it shouldn't cause any problems when I recover the data from the Win7 image to the drive named "BOOT", right?

That's correct.

All right, thanks :-) I'll try that, but it could take long, 'cause I'll be in university practicals for about 4 weeks. So there is little time now. But I'll post an answer as soon as I get results on recovery success (or failure , who knows) ;-)

The rule of thumb when more than one OS is invovled, don't go by drive letters by but drive IDs. Drive names can help accidentally confusing drives also.
