Choose the disk to recover the Master Boot Record to.
NT signature: (p. 101)
Select the way the disk's signature contained in the MBR will be handled. The disk signature is
used by Windows and the Linux kernel version 2.6 and later.
Recover [Volume] [Letter] to:
Disk # /Volume
Sequentially map each of the source volumes to a volume or an unallocated space on the
destination disk.
Size: (p. 103)
[Optional] Change the recovered volume size, location and other properties.
MBR destination
To specify a destination disk:
1. Select the disk to recover the MBR to.
2. Click OK.
Volume destination
To specify a target volume or unallocated space
1. Select a volume or unallocated space where you want the selected volume to be recovered to.
The destination volume/unallocated space should be at least the same size as the uncompressed
image data.
2. Click OK.
All the data stored on the target volume will be replaced by the backed-up data, so be careful and watch out for
non-backed-up data that you might need.
When using bootable media
Disk letters seen under Windows-style bootable media might differ from the way Windows identifies
drives. For example, the D: drive in the rescue utility might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.
Be careful! To be on the safe side, it is advisable to assign unique names to the volumes.
The Linux-style bootable media shows local disks and volumes as unmounted (sda1, sda2...).
Changing volume properties
Size and location
When recovering a volume to a basic MBR disk, you can resize and relocate the volume by dragging it
or its borders with a mouse or by entering corresponding values in the appropriate fields. Using this
feature, you can redistribute the disk space between the volumes being recovered. In this case, you
will have to recover the volume to be reduced first.
Note: Volumes backed up using the sector-by-sector option cannot be resized.
Tip: A volume cannot be resized when being recovered from a backup split into multiple removable media. To be
able to resize the volume, copy all parts of the backup to a single location on a hard disk.
