this feature.
Description
Checks the restored drive for errors after the recovery
point is restored.
Automatically expands the drive to occupy the target
drive's remaining unallocated space.
Makes the restored drive the active partition (for
example, the drive from which the computer starts).
You should select this option if you are restoring the
drive on which your operating system is installed.
Restores the original, physical disk signature of the
hard drive.
Disk signatures are part of all Windows operating
systems that Norton Ghost supports. Disk signatures
are required to use the hard drive.
Select this option if either of the following situations
are true:
Your computer's drive letters are atypical (for
example, assigned letters other than C, D, E, and
so forth).
You are restoring a recovery point to a new, empty
hard disk.
Sets the partition type as follows:
Primary partition: Because hard disks are limited
to four primary partitions, select this type if the
drive will have four or less partitions.
Logical partition: Select this type if you need more
than four partitions. You can have up to three
primary partitions, plus any number of logical
partitions, up to the maximum size of your hard
disk.
Lets you assign a drive letter to the partition.
