    Will a Windows System Image recovery delete data on other partitions ?


    I created a system image of Drive (C:) and the System reserved, but not the Drive (B:) where all my data is stored. So, I wanted to ask if i restore from that system image, will the data in my Drive (B:) be deleted ? or will the image just restore the Drive (C:) and leave my other partitions untouched ?

    Thanks. :)

    Have a read of the tutorial
    System Image Recovery
    As part of the recovery you should be presented with this screen

    Do not select the format option. Selecting this option will format the OS partition and all partitions on that drive.

    Also, when this option is selected you need to go into the "Exclude disks" option and exclude other physically connected connected drives.

    Unless you have changed the partition structure of your OS HDD since the image was made you should have the default option to NOT format.
