10.1.5 Selecting a target disk/partition

1. Select a target disk or partition where you want to recover the selected image. You can recover

data to its initial location, to another disk/partition or to an unallocated space. The target

partition should be at least the same size as the uncompressed image data.

All the data stored on the target partition will be replaced by the image data, so be careful and watch for

non-backed-up data that you might need.

2. When recovering an entire disk, the program will analyze the target disk structure to see

whether the disk is free.

If there are partitions on the target disk, you will be prompted by the confirmation window stating

that the destination disk contains partitions, perhaps with useful data.

You will have to select between:

 OK – all existing partitions will be deleted and all their data will be lost.

 Cancel – no existing partition will be deleted, discontinuing the recovery operation. You will then

have to cancel the operation or select another disk.

Note that no real changes or data destruction will be performed at this time! For now, the program will just

map out the procedure. All changes will be implemented only when you click Proceed in the wizard's Summary

window.

10.1.6 Changing the recovered partition type

When recovering a partition, you can change its type, though it is not required in most cases.

To illustrate why you might need to do this, let's imagine that both the operating system and data

were stored on the same primary partition on a damaged disk.

If you are recovering a system partition to the new (or the same) disk and want to load the operating

system from it, you will select Active.
