To solve this problem, do the following:

1	In Windows Explorer, click the View menu, and then click Options.

2	Click Show All Files.

3	Click the Start button, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.

4	In the Named box, type:

*.~~r

5	In the Look In box, choose the drive where Windows is installed.

6	Click Find Now.

7	Click the files or folders found.

8	On the File menu, click Delete.

9	Try the Restore again.
