So this strikes me as a puzzle -- if the restore it supposed to bring the
drive back to exactly where it was, why would it all of a sudden register
this difference?
One detail: when I've restored, I haven't restored the MBR (just the
partition), as my understanding is that isn't necessary (I've been
imaging/restoring the same drive/partition). Also, it only does this some
times, not every time I restore...
Weird, eh? -Scott
