partition:[partition number]
Specifies the partitions to restore by numbers.
target_harddisk:[disk number]
Specifies the hard disk number where the image will be restored.
target_partition:[partition number]
Specifies the target partition number for restoring a partition over the existing one. If the option is
not specified, the program assumes that the target partition number is the same as the partition
number specified with the partition option.
start:[start sector]
Sets the start sector for restoring a partition to the hard disk unallocated space.
fat16_32
Enables the file system conversion from FAT16 to FAT32 if the partition size after recovery is likely to
exceed 2 GB. Without this option, the recovered partition will inherit the file system from the image.
size:[partition size in sectors]
Sets the new partition size (in sectors).
type:[active | primary | logical]
Sets the restored partition active, primary or logical, if possible (for example, there cannot be more
than four primary partitions on the disk). Setting a partition active always sets it primary, while a
partition set primary may remain inactive.
If the type is not specified, the program tries to keep the target partition type. If the target partition
is active, the restored partition is set active. If the target partition is primary, and there are other
primary partitions on the disk, one of them will be set active, while the restored partition becomes
primary. If no other primary partitions remain on the disk, the restored partition is set active.
When restoring a partition on unallocated space, the program extracts the partition type from the
image. For the primary partition, the type will be set as follows:

if the target disk is the 1st according to BIOS and it has no other primary partitions, the restored
partition will be set active

if the target disk is the 1st according to BIOS and there are other primary partitions on it, the
restored partition will be set logical

if the target disk is not the 1st, the restored partition will be set logical.
preserve_mbr
When restoring a partition over an existing one, the target partition is deleted from the disk along
with its entry in the target disk MBR. Then, with the preserve_mbr option, the restored partition's
entry will occupy the upper empty position in the target disk MBR. Thus, the target disk MBR is
preserved. If not specified, the restored partition's entry will occupy the same position as in the
