# Step 4. Specify Disk Settings

This step is available only if you have selected the **Restore to a new location, or with different settings** option at the [Account & Restore Mode](restore_vm_image_service_acc.md) step of the wizard.

At the **Disks** step of the wizard, you can configure the following disk properties:

- [Target resource group settings](#rg).
- [New names for the restored virtual disks](#rename).

## Specifying Resource Group Settings {#rg}

To specify settings for the target resource group, do the following:

1. Select a disk and click **Settings**.
2. In the **Disk properties** window, do the following:

   1. From the **Resource group** drop-down list, select a resource group for the restored virtual disk.

      For a resource group to be displayed in the list of available resource groups, it must be created in the Microsoft Azure portal as described in [Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/manage-resource-groups-portal).

   2. From the **Availability Zone** drop-down list, select an availability zone to which you want to place the restored virtual disk.

3. After you make changes to the virtual disk settings, click **Save**.
