When prompted in the Set Text Mode section, you can access by pressing F2. Restore part. ASR will read the disk configuration in the file it created and will restore all disk signatures, volumes and minimal disk partitions required to boot the computer (ASR will attempt to restore all disk configurations, but in some cases, ASR does not It is possible to restore all disk configurations), then ASR installs Windows Lite and automatically initiates the restore using the backup created by the ASR wizard.
