I would recommend a different approach.  If you can save the files copy
them somewhere else then, slid the XP disk in and reformat the hard
drive and reload the OS.

I have never seen the restores, or recover work well.  Put on a clean
shirt and put the files back.  This does not work well if you do not
have the software on the machine.

Just a thought.

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: MS-XPpro restore point command line recovery.

I a rebuilding a friends Dell D800 Latitude (Windows XP-Pro SP2) that
was
so badly compromised with malware that it was impossible to use.
However,
the recovery disk set that Dell sent him was for a D600 and the driver
suite provided does not work with this machine.  I have worked around
this
(mostly) but the drivers for the smartcard bus that I most recently
installed cause the machine to become non-responsive a few minutes after
starting. This happens too fast for me to get the the restore point
dialog
so I am lookgn to see if there is a technique to rollback to a restore
point through the command line recover console.

Does anyone here know if this is  possible and if so, how to do it?

Regards,
