restores drive C: to its initial installation state. To use the Partition Only option,
drive C: must be equal to or greater than 1 GB. Additional partitions, e.g.,
drives D:, E:, etc., remain intact.

Use the Partition Only restore option if your hard disk is partitioned into two or
more partitions (drives).
