I had to restore a backup image of my Windows 7 box. I have two drives and only one of them, the system, needed to be restored. Hardware configuration has not changed, and yet restore would fail with every concievable error message regardless what options I chose, which dirves I included or excluded, until I cleared "Format and repartition disks" checkbox. That did restore my system, although it restored both drives, not only the one that I needed. It was an hour of sheer terror not knowing whether I will be able to restore my information. It's horrible, MS, this should not be happenning.
