How did my Data partition become active?

Thread needs solution

I have one hard drive in my computer with my C drive on one partition and my data on the other partition and I did restore my C drive so how did my Data partition become active?

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.
