Hi,
I got a free copy of Norton Ghost 15 with my Samsung 830 SSD and this is the first time I've given it a real life test and I've had some teething problems.
All of the following has been done with Ghost 15 in "cold imaging mode". My PC is setup like this:

I have the 100MB system reserved partition, my OS partition and 12GB RAW for my SSD over provisioning. I had to dual boot my PC for a specific reason so before starting I took an image of the system partition and the OS partition, which gave me 2 .v2i files. After I had finished my task instead of deleting the temp Windows install and fixing MBR I secure erased my SSD and tried to restore back from my image. The first time I tried to boot I got a flashing _ in the top left and thats it. So I SE'd again and changed some of the options and this time got "BOOTMGR MISSING". So I booted my Win7 DVD and ran the fix startup tool and it said my MBR was missing or currupted and it promptly fixed it and then my system was restored. My question is, based off the below photos, what settings at the bottom of each window should be ticked and unticked to work without having to manually repair the MBR after?

Also, since restoring from my image and fixing the MBR and getting my system working again, my system reserved partition now shows up as a drive letter when it didnt before:

I would appreciate some input on what exactly is disk signature and should MBR come from my system partition (as it is first?) or my OS installed partition.
Thanks for anybody who takes the time to help me out.
Regards,
