SSR 2011 Restore My Computer - Resizing of Drives

Question

Hello,
I have a problem where I am restoring three partitions. 1 - System Reserved, 2 - C Drive (OS), 3 - Recovery OEM partition using SSR 2011.
This restores and Windows loads up, however the C drive is not being restored with all the free space that it had when the backup was taken. The free space stays as 'Unallocated' and the c drive cannot be extended due to the Recovery Drive being last.
The resize drive check box is greyed out in the SRD for the C drive.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem and force the drives to be restored exactly how they were in size on the machine when it was backed up?
Many thanks

Have you tried restore the partitions one at a time and resize the OS partiton BEFORE the OEM partition is restored ?

Do you mean resize the OS partition through windows? On the SRD the options are all greyed out.

Yep or through gparted.
