Restoring with True Image Home

Thread needs solution

I am running XP SP3 and the current build of TI Home build 7145. I am wanting to restore a image to my hard drive. When I go to select the image and tell it where to restore it to. Some of the partitions show that they are unallocated on the drives, I have installed in my computer. I know that this is not true because I can access/read and write to these locations. Do I need to rebuild my master boot record or what?

Can you post a screen shot of the Disk management in Windows?

The first problem is with the first screen shot of the TI recover settings window. Look at the the Free space after (320.7 GB) in the partition size. That is the space that will be Drive D (for Windows 7). It has not in the past or should be a part of Drive C.

The second and only unallocated partition problem I have, that I can not explain is Drive L (7.814 GB) in the partition destination window of the second TI recover settings window. That is the partition that I can read and write to. But TI tells me that it is unallocated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

1- TI seems to match disk management.
2 - it must be gray because it's too smal to restore the backup onto. The 7.844 MB (not GB) unallocated partition is before it, and seems to be normal for logical partitions.

I agree with dev-anon. Windows Disk management shows the space as unallocated. That's not a TI problem. Did you perhaps plan another partition?

Except for the large unallocated space betweeen C & D, all the other unallocated space is normal and relates to either the partitiions were not fully extended to boundry when created; or the space relates to cylinder boundries when partitions created. Ths is not worth worrying about.

As for the large unalloated space between C & D, if you did not intentionally create this space, did you ever have a secure zone which was deleted via Windows rather than via the TI program?
