drive C restored without label; labeled it, now see 2 labels

[wscott44]

Oy Vey! Something screwed up my main drive this weekend; I think it was after running Executive Software Diskeeper 7.0.428 a few times (it's a defragger). Windows 2000 Pro SP4 no longer booted; got the BSOD. Fortunately, I had been doing nightly backups and had a disaster recovery CD. This is with Retrospect 6.5.343, latest driver.

 

I did a complete disaster recovery, which formatted my hard drive first. When the drive was restored, the label I had given it via PowerQuest (Symantec) Partition Magic 8 was not there. The problem with that was that Retrospect said it could not access the drive and showed the volume name in the script, but greyed out.

 

Next I put the label back with Partition Magic. Now I see TWO labels -- one greyed out and one black -- in the both the Backup tools and Restore tools. Now I am dazed and confused. The system is running; I am posting from it; but the restore is not completely up to date and I am nervous. The Disaster Recovery restored as of 4/2/04, there is one more backup for 4/3/04. When I go into the Restore Entire Volume Destination Selection, I see TWO Volumes labeled "EVO_W4000 (C:)" -- one gray and one black.

 

What would a YOU do?

 

Thank you,

Go to Configure>Volumes in Retrospect. Forget the old version of that disk (greyed out).

 

Edit the script and add the current version of that disk to the source list in the script.

Okay. I did it. Now during exit, I do NOT see any problems reported about the drive being unavailable. Therefore, I am confident that the backups will continue to run as scheduled.

 

Just curious though -- why is the label not restored with the drive?

 

Thanks again,
