Selecting a Partition Letter 

Windows operating system uses Roman alphabet letters for disk and partition 

identification

. Letters are automatically assigned during OS boot process. 

Acronis TrueImage software lets you assign any unoccupied letter to a 
partition (logical drive) to be restored under Windows NT/2000/XP. To do 
this, set the switch to 

Yes, I want to assign a logical drive letter to the restored 

partition

 on the following page and select a letter from the drop-down list. If 

you do not set this switch, a logical drive will have its letter automatically assigned 
by the operating system. This page will be omitted under Windows 9x/Me.
