Restoring a disk (partition) from an image

5.8 Assigning a letter to a partition
Windows utilizes letters to identify disks and partitions, automatically assigning
them at loading.
Under Windows NT/2000/XP, Acronis True Image enables you to assign any unused
letter to a restored partition (logical disk). To do this, select Yes, I want to assign
a logical drive letter to restored partition. If you don’t set this switch, no
letters will be assigned to the restored partition, hiding it from OS. Under Windows
9x/Me, this step is bypassed since letters are assigned automatically.
Assign any unused letter to a partition
You should not assign letters to partitions inaccessible to Windows, such as to those
other than FAT and NTFS.
5.9 Checking file system integrity
Having restored a disk/partition from an image under Windows NT/2000/XP, Acronis True Image can
check the integrity of its file system.
To do this, flag Yes, I want to check file system after the restoring on the Check File System
After the Restoring page of the image restoration wizard.
