Macrium Reflect indicates system partitions by displaying the operating system logo, for example the Windows flag , in the top left corner of the partition on the partition diagram. If the restore includes system partitions, the computer boots into a memory-resident Windows PE environment before restoring the system partitions and restarting to the restored system state.

target disk and select 'Restored Partition Properties'. The
Partition Properties dialog is shown. Resize
the partition using either:
