Hi Patricia,

This is a tough one. Check dsmerror.log for any other messages that
coincide with the ANS1257E message. What do those say?

You can try deleting the c:\adsm.sys directory, then retry the restore.

Also, did you follow our recommended full system restore procedures? There
is a document at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21164812
that discusses this. Since you are using 5.1, the procedures would mirror
those for Windows 2000 (system object, rather than system state); though
I'm not certain that W2K+3 has been tested with the 5.1 client.

Best regards,

Andy

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