Restored NTFS partitions cause the Windows chkdsk utility to run when the system is rebooted. This utility 

creates and displays a status report for a disk based on the file system. Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows 

XP will run the verification process and then restart. The restored drive should be fully operational after the 

computer restarts.

You cannot select a partition that is smaller than the amount of data on the original partition. However, 

you may select a larger partition. In some cases, you may need to select a target partition that is the same 

size as the original partition.

When you select a drive to restore, you must pay attention to the compatibility of the file systems between
