Here, the Source is showing the location of the partition on the original disk. You now have two options. You can either restore the partition onto the new disk in exactly the same location by clicking the 'Copy selected partitions' link (see below)
or you can click and drag the source partition onto the destination disk. The partition will be located at the first available free area of the disk. In this case, this is at the beginning of the disk. Please note that if you already have established partitions on the target disk, you need to select each one and click the Delete Existing partition link before you can drag and resize partitions from the source. See below:
You can now modify the size of the target partition by clicking the link 'Restored Partition Properties'. This gives the following dialog.
There are a number of things you can do here:
You can modify the resultant drive letter by choosing one from the pull-down list.
You can modify and select the partition type i.e. Primary, Active, Logical
By clicking on the < > arrows above the disk view, you can click-and-drag the size of the partition as you wish
You can then fine tune the exact partition size, its free space and alignment by using the controls on the bottom left of the dialog
The Maximum Size button configures the partition to take the maximum available unallocated space on the disk, in this case about 1TB (the size of the disk)
The Minimum Size button configures the partition to take the minimum size which in this case is roughly the same as the amount of data on the disk i.e. 460MB
The Original Size button sets the partition to be exactly the same size as it was prior to backup
When you click OK, you can then follow the steps in the first part of this document to complete the restore.
