Hi
We'll try the Recovery Console again with a different command.
  • Restart your computer
  • Before Windows loads, you will be prompted to choose which Operating System to start
  • Use the up and down arrow key to select Microsoft Windows Recovery Console
  • You must enter which Windows installation to log onto. Type 1 and press enter
  • At the C:\Windows prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:
cd erdnt\hiv-backup

  • At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:
batch erdnt.con

  • The erunt backups will begin copying
  • At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:
exit

Windows will now begin loading.
