My data partition is Active?
When I restored my Image to a clean partition (A clean drive with 2 partitions) I ended up with Recycle.Bin, Boot, System Volume Information, and bootmgr on my Data drive. I'm not sure what to do about this?

If your computer is working fine, as it seems, then please leave it alone and let it do its job for at least a fortnight before tinkering any further.
