If you wish to restore the system drive, you must use the PC Restore Disc. A
system drive cannot be restored from the Windows operating system because
it would have to write over itself.
About restoring a drive backup
Note: When restoring a disk drive, any content that exists on the target hard
drive or drive partition will be erased.
•
Restored NTFS partitions cause the Windows chkdsk utility to run when
the system is rebooted. This utility creates and displays a status report for
a disk based on the file system. Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP will
run the verification process and then restart. The restored drive should be
fully operational after the computer restarts.
•
You cannot select a partition that is smaller than the amount of data on
the original partition. However, you may select a larger partition. In some
cases, you may need to select a target partition that is the same size as
the original partition.
•
When you select a drive to restore, you must pay attention to the
compatibility of the file systems between the source backup and the target
drive. The following table lists all compatible combinations of source and
target file systems and the resulting partition format.
