DRM is not the same as DR. DRM helps you to manage your disaster recovery
media, but is not directly related to the recovery of specific client
machines.

If you search www.ibm.com for article 7005204, you will find "Tivoli Field
Guide - Tivoli Storage Manager Recovery Techniques Using Windows
Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)". This might be useful for you.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
