Verify recovery point before restore
|
Verifies whether a recovery point is valid or corrupt before it
is restored. If the recovery point is invalid, the recovery is
discontinued.
This option can significantly increase the time that is required
for the recovery to complete.
|
|
Check for file system errors after recovery
|
Checks the restored drive for errors after the recovery point is
restored.
|
|
Resize drive after recover (unallocated space only)
|
Select this option and specify the new drive size in
megabytes.
|
|
Partition type
|
Sets the partition type as follows:
-
Primary partition: Because hard disks are limited to four
primary partitions, select this type if the drive has 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.
|
|
Set drive active (for booting OS)
|
Makes the restored drive the active partition (for example, the
drive from which the computer starts).
You should select this option if you restore the drive on which
your operating system is installed.
|
|
Restore original disk signature
|
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 restore a recovery point to a new, empty hard disk.
|
|
Restore master boot record
|
Restores the master boot record. The master boot record is
contained in the first sector of a physical hard disk. The master
boot record consists of a master boot program and a partition table
that describes the disk partitions. The master boot program
analyzes the partition table of the first, physical hard disk to
see which primary partition is active. It then starts the boot
program from the boot sector of the active partition.
This option is recommended only for advanced users and is
available only if you restore a whole drive in the recovery
environment.
Select this option if any of the following
situations are true:
-
You restore a recovery point to a new, empty hard disk.
-
You restore a recovery point to the original drive, but the
drive's partitions were modified since the recovery point was
created.
-
You suspect that a virus or some other problem has corrupted
your drive's master boot record.
