As I understand you have one HDD with partitions C and D and are
therefor making an image back onto the HDD you are imaging.

That has to be confusing for any imaging program and is probably why you
are having the C/D problem on restore.


If he's imaging C: and storing it on D:, it doesn't matter in the
slightest that C: and D: are two partitions on the same physical disk.
No imaging program is going to have a problem with that.

Right. The problem, as noted by Paul, is that the ramdisk boots up as C: ,
effectively "stealing" that drive letter away from me for a flawless restore
operation to my C: (it thinks my system drive is now D: during the restore
operation, and that E has the backup image, (instead of D. But it worked,
however, but with some minor issues, which I can't recall now.

I rarely use that Windows 7 laptop at this point, so it hasn't been a big
issue for me. I'm using the Windows XP desktop computer almost all the
time, including right here.
