I want to restore my Windows C partition.

When I go to restore ... will it ask me which partition I want to restore into? or is that something I need to select.

Hi Dick ... the Automatic Norton backup did both the RECOVERY and C:\OS partition as 2 seperate files.
When I go to recover it seems to want to restore both at the same time. From what I read the RECOVERY partion does notc change.
Is there any reason to restore both? If not I will just restore the C:|OS.

Hi,
I don't know of any reson to restore the recovery partition. Just like I'm not sure why it was backed up.
I also don't think that anything bad will happen if you do restore both. About the only thing I can think of is that it will take a bit longer to do the restore.
I have also found that trying to change what Ghost wants to do can lead to unintended consequences.
Short answer: go for both.
Keep us posted
