Restoring The System
Up to Windows XP, the system can be restored as long as is an online state, that is, as long as Windows boots normally or from Safe mode. It is not possible to restore the system if Windows is unbootable. Under Windows Vista and later, the Windows Recovery Environment can be used to launch System Restore and restore a system in an offline state, that is, in case the Windows installation is unbootable. However, for all operating systems including Windows XP, the Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) tools from the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack can be used to create a bootable recovery disc that can log on to an unbootable Windows installation and start System Restore.
