You might need to try to reboot into recovery mode, then rename the
adsm.sys dir to something else, then reboot again. But then, not knowing
what the current system state is, I don't know how all of that will work
out. You might need to try the full system restore again, from scratch...

It would still help if you would be sure to attach the dsmerror.log to
your posts. It might not contain anything useful, but sometimes that is in
the eye of the beholder, so my preference is to verify for myself.

I would also strongly recommend you use the command line client instead of
the GUI (turn of QUIET if you are using it!) so you can either redirect
the output to a file or capture the output via copy & paste (set the OS
command line window for a height of 9999 lines). That gives us all
something to look at.

Ideally I would urge you to contact IBM support for assistance, but
unfortunately 5.1 went out of service at the end of September.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
