Hello,
What is the partition structure on the disk that was backed up
If the drive letters assigned to the boot and system partitions by the Windows Setup program are not the same as they were in the original layout, they are changed back to the original by the Disaster Recovery Wizard. If the boot and system partition layouts are not compatible with the original layout, the disks are not repartitioned. The disks can be manually repartitioned later by using Windows Disk Administrator.
For example, on the pre-disaster computer, partition C was the boot partition on the first disk and partition D was the system partition on the second disk. When the boot media was created, the Let IDR automatically partition the boot and system drive during restore option was not selected. During disaster recovery, the disks are replaced and in the new configuration, partition C is the boot partition as well as the system partition. In
this case, since the drive layouts are not compatible, the disks will not be repartitioned.
Only basic disks and upgraded dynamic disks (upgraded from basic) are supported. However, any partitions created after upgrading the basic disks to dynamic are not supported. After disaster recovery, the disks that were upgraded dynamic disks will be basic, but can later be upgraded to dynamic by using the Windows Disk Administrator.
To allow IDR to automatically partition the boot and system drives for a Windows 2000 computer during recovery and to restore any utility partitions that existed, select the option Let IDR automatically partition the boot and system drive during restore
