Select the drive that you want to recover.
If you are recovering your computer, select the drive on which Windows is
installed. On most computer systems, this drive is the C drive. In the recovery
environment, the drive letters and labels might not match what appears in
Windows. You might need to identify the correct drive based on its label, the
name assigned to it, or by browsing the files and folders in the recovery point.
See “Recovering files and folders from the recovery environment ” on page 161.
