Wrong drive letter-image restore fails

Not exactly a W7 issue but that's the OS I'm using. I have a desktop with 2 internal drives, C and D. Previous to this I used Acronis up to version 9 hundreds of times but because it doesn't work with W7 switched to Macrium Reflect (free) which I've used at least a dozen times on this image which verifies as fine. Now when I go to restore any image, Macrium shows the drives fine until it's time to overwrite the partition when it shows the Master Boot as C and my main as D and a restore fails. I used Killdisk to erase the MBR and what shows there as C but any new install shows the drive to install to as E but when it finishes, My Computer shows only C and D. The only thing I can think of is to install a new HDD and hope any install goes to C and restore from there; this computer is a custom built about two months old. Any new image also shows the MBR as C but C is shown as my main drive in Windows (no MBR shown). I've reinstalled Windows 4 times but nothing helps. Hope this all makes sense, back to ATI after this even if it is bloated. Thankyou

 

This reply is not a solution to your problem but I wanted you to be aware that Windows 7 has its own image backup program built in if you should wish to use that. Just be sure to create the system repair CD.

Image Backup

Image Restore

System Repair Disk

If you have Macrium Free on a BartPE CD you might want to look at this utility. It lets you restore multiple partitions at one time.

Thanks, I have W7 64 bit installed at the moment which won't create a BartPE but I'll try that later. I'm pretty sure Macrium caused this as I installed ATI 2010 and it has no problem backing up or restoring to C.

 

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, should of looked a little harder. Macrium created a letter (C) for the Master Boot Record and deleting it fixed the drive letters in the image, course that caused other problems but I think they're fixable.
