Subject: Re: Bare Metal Restore for NT
You can't overwrite an active registry. Two options:
1. Step 1 should be to install NT and TSM to non-standard directories.
That way you can restore the registry.
2. Restore the c:\adsm.sys directory tree, then boot with an NTFS aware
diskette, and copy the directory files back to c:\winnt\system32\config.
I'd advise reading the redbook on NT Bare Metal Restores (I can't find the
number, but you can search for it on the www.redbooks.ibm.com website), as
there's more to restoring an entire NT system than meets the eye.
