 Desktop recovery options

 Your archive is always built to unzip from the root of the drive you
 archived the information from. This means that when it is executed, it will
 unzip into the proper directories automatically. There are no provisions for
 unzipping from a remote location although it can be done if you know your
 way around Unzip.

 For the purposes of this discussion we will use "Cdrive.exe" as the archive
 name we will be using to recover the mythical "C" drive in our example.

 
 General recovery (easy):

      Boot to a command prompt using your preprepared boot disks or with
       your OS/2 installation disks.
      Execute your "Cdrive.exe" file in the root directory of the "C" drive
       (the drive it was built from) by typing:

       Cdrive

      Reboot normally
  
  General recovery with corrupted desktop recovery included:

      Boot to a command prompt using your preprepared boot disks or with
       your OS/2 installation disks.
      Rename or delete the "Desktop" directory. We suggest renaming it until
       you have fully recovered. So, from the root of the boot drive you
       would type:

       ren desktop desktop1

      Execute your "Cdrive.exe" file in the root directory of the "C" drive
       (the drive it was built from) by typing:

       Cdrive

      Reboot normally
  
  Corrupted desktop recovery only (no other files included):

      Boot to a command prompt using your preprepared boot disks or with
       your OS/2 installation disks.
      Rename or delete the "Desktop" directory. We suggest renaming it until
       you have fully recovered. So, from the root of the boot drive you
       would type:

       ren desktop desktop1

      Execute your "Cdrive.exe" file in the root directory of the "C" drive
       (the drive it was built from) by typing:

       Cdrive desktop\*

      Reboot normally

  Use "Cdrive *\" if you only want the directories and no files (or templates)
  that may be in them.
  
  Recovery of INI files only:

      Boot to a command prompt using your preprepared boot disks or with
       your OS/2 installation disks.
      Execute your "Cdrive.exe" file in the root directory of the "C" drive
       (the drive it was built from) with the -C *.ini parameter by typing:

       Cdrive -C *.ini

      Reboot normally
  
  Recovery of INI and CFG files only:

      Boot to a command prompt using your preprepared boot disks or with
       your OS/2 installation disks.
      Execute your "Cdrive.exe" file in the root directory of the "C" drive
       (the drive it was built from) with the -C *.ini and *.cfg parameters by
       typing:

       Cdrive -C *.ini *.cfg

      Reboot normally
  
  General recovery to another location using "unzip.exe":

      Execute "unzip.exe" on the Cdrive.exe file that is located in root
       directory of the "C" drive (the drive it was built from) and make it
       extract itself in the f:\backup directory with the -d parameter by
       typing:

       unzip -d f:\backup cdrive.exe

  
  Recovery of "hidden files" while keeping their "hidden" attributes.
  (os2ldr os2boot etc.)

      Execute "unzip.exe" on the Cdrive.exe file that is located in root
       directory of the "C" drive (the drive it was built from) and make it
       extract only the os2* files while recovering their "hidden" file
       attributes by typing:

       unzip -C cdrive.exe os2*

  configurations and also some tips or tricks to help you recover only
  selected parts.
