I created an image of my wife's hard drive and restored it to a new hard

I swapped out the old HD and of course it wouldn't boot, so I booted
from the Reflect rescue disk and selected the option to fix windows boot
issues.

No joy.

I selected the view that shows all the HD partitions and I got what I
expected with one exception.

Partition 5, Windows8_OS did not have a drive letter. (Obviously, it has
to be C:.) I ran Macrium's checker and it reported no errors.

How do I assign a drive letter to this partition?

Thanks.


You don't image, you "clone".

Imaging to me, implies you were very selective
about the partitions you copied.

You forgot an important partition. Probably
some part of the boot chain.

Cloning copies all the partitions.

The "Cloned Partition Properties", allows resizing partitions
so a large hard drive fits on a smaller SSD. This is a
way to remove unused space from a partition. If the large hard
drive is "full", then obviously you're not allowed to shrink it
smaller than the amount of user data stored on it. It's only
useful if a 20GB OS partition is on a 1TB partition, and you
need to fit it on a new 100GB SSD. In which case, the 20GB OS
will fit within the confines of a 100GB SSD just fine.
