I'm sorry, but I don't understand what to do when trying for the first time to use the Recovery Wizard. I'm being asked for a new partition location for the main C drive, but the options are as follows:

Disk 1 NTFS, Photos, C Flag Pri (this drive is normally called G and is for my photos)
Disk 2 FAT32, 2nd back up G Flag Pri, Act (this one is normally allocated to an external drive named R)
Disk 3 NTFS Main backup F Flag Pri (this is also an external drive which contains my Acronis back up)
Disk 4 NTFS System D Flag Flag Pri, Act (this should be the system disk C with the OS on)
Disk 5 NTFS Data E Flag Pri (this is my data disk, usually named F)

I understand that Linux renames the drives, but I'm sure that when I back up the C drive, it's usually Disk 2 which I select. I don't know what the flags mean.

Can anyone help me, please - what do I choose for the new location? I'm using XP if that makes any difference to anything.

After booting with my Acrois TI Home recovery CD I made, I have validated my .tib file and it did not show any reslts. I guess that is good.
When I attempt to perform recovery of just my C:\ partition, it dispays the "Settings of Partition C". There is nothing displayed for "Partition locatiion (required). I have to click on "New Location". When I attempt to click on my "NTFS (unlabeled)(C)" inorder to select the New Partition locatin, it selects the entire disk 1 as well as a partition from Disk 2. There is NO WAY to get it to select just the primary,active partition.
