I did a registry/system backup on xp pro utility & I can't access the bkf file on my recovery console with the command regbackup (after set allowallpaths - true ) ...but I can see the bkf file, its size & date of creation, after typing dir. Question: can you make a bootable cd with the Tweaking program and access the bkf file & so restore it ? If so, what would be the files that I should include in the bootable cd ? I have a copy of that bkf file on my usb key & attempted to burn it to a bootable cd to access my system to no avail.
