Assigning A Letter To A Partition; Checking File System Integrity - Apricorn EZ Gig II User Manual

Restoring a disk (partition) from an image
You might need to resize and relocate a partition in order to redistribute the disk space
between existing partitions. In this case, you will have to restore the partition to be reduced
first.
These changes might be useful if you are to clone a hard disk by creating its image and
restoring it to a new disk with larger partitions. Such cloning is used if it is impossible to
connect the second hard disk to the PC.

Assigning a letter to a partition

Windows utilizes letters to identify disks and partitions, automatically assigning
them at loading.
Under Windows NT/2000/XP, Apricorn EZ Gig II enables you to assign any unused
letter to a restored partition (logical disk). To do this, select Yes, I want to assign
a logical drive letter to restored partition. If you don't set this switch, no
letters will be assigned to the restored partition, hiding it from OS. Under Windows
9x/Me, this step is bypassed since letters are assigned automatically.
You should not assign letters to partitions inaccessible to Windows, such as to those
other than FAT and NTFS.
