Restores the original, physical disk signature of the
hard drive.
Disk signatures are included in Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Windows NT
Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition (SP3 and later). 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 are restoring a recovery point to a blank hard
drive.

Sets the partition type as follows:
■ Primary partition: Because hard disks are limited
to four primary partitions, select this type if the
drive will have 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.

Click Yes.
If the wizard cannot lock the drive to perform the recovery in Windows
(typically, because the drive is in use by a program), make sure the drive is
not in use by closing any files or applications that might be using it, and then
click Retry.
If the Retry option fails, click Ignore to tell Windows to attempt to force a
lock on the drive. If Ignore failes, you might be prompted to insert the
Symantec Recovery Disk and manually start the recovery environment so
that you can complete the recovery. When the recovery is finished, the
computer restarts automatically.
