AISBackup: Restoring using the Microsoft Recovery Console.
Introduction
This section describes how to use the Microsoft Recovery Console to complete restoring the Windows 2000 or XP operating system.
If you would like install the Microsoft Recovery onto your PC rather than using the Windows installation CD see here.
Description.
When the first phase of the restore finishes you will be asked to restart the PC and start the Microsoft Recovery Console. Instructions for permanently installing the Microsoft Recovery Console onto your PC see here

- After loading the Recovery Console choose the operating system you have
just Restored, e.g. C:\Windows. Do not choose C:\AIS_Windows.
- Enter the password for the Administrator account. For Windows XP Home
users the default password is usually not set, so just press Enter.
- Enter the command:
BATCH AISRESTORE (not case sensitive)
There is a space between the word BATCH and AISRESTORE.
AISBackup takes about a nanosecond to switch Operating Systems, once this is done remove the distribution CD, type EXIT then press <Enter>. Widows will now re-start.
- AISBackup will now check that everything has been restored and delete the
remnants of the previous Windows Operating System.
