Tried to recreate - the mistake... and
Let's say we have C:/ Partition labeled as "Windows " and D:/ Partition labeled as "Warehouse"
"Disk Mode" is now called "System Mode". And that's what's selected by Default. Normally, this too should work - if you don't touch anything (if the C:/Partition is shown as Yellow/Selected having the Windows Label - while D:/ is shown as Grey/Unselected having the Warehouse label).
BUT... for some stupid reason - "it allows you to click on the Disk (in first panel with Next - before the one where you can Proceed) - and when you end-up in the Proceed panel - your C:/Partition is still shown as Yellow/Selected - but D:/ is shown as Grey/Unselected AND "Unallocated".
Thus, if you missed the Unaloocated space part for D:/ Partition - it's quite likely that it will do as it says: restore C:/ and clear D:/
On the other hand, if you switch to Partition Mode - clicking on Disk - nothing happens (like with System Mode) - nothing happens, since you can only select a Partition and the others remain intact. Tho, pretty sure most people - use default (System Mode) - and they didn't click on Disk by accident.
Seriously, this shouldn't be possible - it's a bad design (leaves room for a meaningless Risk).
Tried to re-create your mistake.Ok my blame...but again, I didn't see any type of warnings when restoring.
