I have downloaded every trailer that has been released for Prometheus and have just rewatched the original trailer that was released back in december and compared it to the new trailers...
THE SHAPE AND ORIENTATION OF THE DERELICT HAS CHANGED
Heres the old version of the Derelict from the december trailer...

And heres the new version of the Derelict from the UK trailer...

And heres the original Derelict from the 1979 Alien...

In the original trailer the Derelict looked more angular and sharper, much to the fans dis-satisfaction, and started the debate that it wasn't the same ship from Alien. Yet in the new trailers the ship is more bulbous and organic looking, and is positioned 180 degrees the other way round.
Obviously the fans voices have been heard and the Derelict was changed to better look like the Derelict from Alien.
Thus IMHO this is the Derelict from Alien, and this is LV-426/Archeron.

@TKfanboy - As I said I am stating that the Derelict [b][u]IS[/u][/b] the same one as in Alien, whereas it seemed you was saying otherwise. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but the logic in my last post pretty much sums it all up... I don't see Ridley setting the scene for the beginning of Alien only to say "its another ship that just happens to befall the same fate", that would be suicide for him as a director, the fans would eat him alive.
Therefore the derelict in Prometheus [b][u]IS[/u][/b] the same Derelict as in Alien.

@TKFanboy - Hold on, where have you heard that the Derelict in Prometheus gets destroyed?!?
Lets clarify in laymans terms...
Derelict launches from underground, heading to Earth. Prometheus, piloted by Captain Janek crashes into it and it falls to the ground, rolls and then topples over. 37 years later the Nostromo picks up a signal from this Derelict and investigates...
@artyoh - The insides do look quite different, and I'm sure there is an explanation but I haven't seen the film yet, unfortunately. Plus I'm british, we don't have chevy's we have reliant robins.

@TKFanboy....
First - calm down, its just a forum.
Now, your theory of the Derelict being destroyed has no evidence whatsoever. The falling debris is from the Prometheus (which crashes into it) and can clearly be seen in the trailers and has been covered across many threads here.
The Derelict is obviously damaged enough to crash, and I see it as highly unlikely that it will take off after this crash only to crash again on one of the neighbouring planetoids.
As for what Ridley said, that was months ago... he has since admitted that Prometheus is in fact a prequel to Alien (check the news section) but has also stated that the bigger parts of Prometheus will take the story in another direction.
This is the same Derelict as seen in Alien, and this is LV-426, I am sure the differences will be explained in the film. The bulk of the story before the crash is what Prometheus 2 will venture into.
