Our Dells have been coming in with 2 partitions, I think WinNT is installed
in partition 2.

TSM can't deal with the partition information; if it isn't stored in the
registry or in a file, TSM doesn't see it.
Which is why you must recreate any partitioning yourself, before you do the
restores.

One thing you can do to protect yourself:

AFTER you do your restore of the files and the system object, BEFORE you
reboot, just use NOTEPAD to LOOK at the C:\boot.ini file.  Make sure it
points to the partition where you reinstalled WINNT.

I also have seen the message before about  Windows File Protected files; we
also ignored it (I don't understand it - TSM is supposed to be restoring the
Windows File PRotected files, yes?) But it caused no problems here, either.
