Recover From A Failed
Restore Operation




If your computer becomes non-bootable and System Restore was the last operation performed, you can use the Emergency Boot Disk (EBD) (sometimes referred to as a Windows Boot Disk - See Windows 98 - Create A Windows Boot Disk or Windows XP - Create A Start Up Disk on how to make one) to revert your computer back to the state prior to the Restore operation. When you use the EBD to boot your computer, you will see the following message:

System Restore detects that a restore was the last operation completed. It is recommended you now revert the changes to your system made by System Restore and restart before you proceed. If you choose not to revert these changes,
this option will no longer be available.

     1. Revert the Restore changes made to my system.
     2. Do not revert the Restore changes made to my system.

Enter a choice
If you select the first option, your computer reverts to the state prior to the restore operation and you are prompted to restart the computer:
System Restore reverted the chances made by the last restore operation.

Remove all disks from the floppy disk drives and press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer.
