The reasons that TI does not restore the partition table are:ī) Incorrectly applied, it can result in data destruction. Or, if you have a disk editor you can save the entire first sector as a backup. There are a few third-party utilities that can back up and restore a partition table but they must be used with extreme caution. The function is included for users with third-party boot managers like Linux LILO or GRUB, to be able to restore their boot code if it gets corrupted or overwritten. Most Windows users generally do not need to restore the MBR, although it should not hurt anything to do so. There is a separate setting in TrueImage 2010 that allows restoration of the second item, the Disk ID, if desired. Technically, restoring Track 0 and MBR will replace everything in Track 0 (the first 63 sectors on the disk) EXCEPT for the partition table and the disk ID. When you restore the MBR using Acronis True Image, only the first item is restored. In this first sector are several items - the master boot code, the disk ID, and the partition table. The term "MBR", or Master Boot Record, as commonly used usually means the first sector (512 bytes) on the disk. This, however, is not what TI does during an MBR restoration. The D partition would only be deleted if restoring the MBR also restored the partition table from the original image. No the D partition will not be deleted and will remain as-is using your example.
