Logical Drive problem after restoring older OS drive image



For a while now I have occasionally been making back up images of my
primary partition with True Image 10. Recently, I deleted then
recreated a logical drive (and partition) then reformatted using M$
Disk Management utility. Not long after doing this, I restored an
older image of my primary partition (containing the OS on a PC with
only one OS). Since doing this, I cannot back up my OS using True
Image 10. The True Image software just hangs. Also, I'm having
trouble deleting one of the logical drives I previously deleted. Disk
Management hangs. In fact, it even hangs when I try to reformatted
one of the above mentioned drives.

Perhaps this is a True Image topic left to www.wilderssecurity.com,
but my theory is that the OS image of the primary partition must have
kept some kind of older record of the Hard Drive's partition
information. Therefore, by restoring an older version of the OS, I
had created conflicting hard drive/logicial drive/partition data. Is
this theory correct? If so, is there something I can alter in XP in
order to get it to recognize the newer correct partition information?

Also, when restoring the primary drive/partition to an older version,
I did this using a True Image bootdisk (CD) that actually had it's own
mini XP OS. I mention this because the CD may have had a different
opinion of the partitions while it was restoring the older image of
the drive.

Win XP SP2
WD Cavier SE16 SATA
True Image v.10

At this point I'm not sure where to start looking for the problem so
even advice pointing me in the right direction would be very much
appreciated.

Thank you,
Jim
