I am receiving an error message stating my restoration is incomplete.  The Windows Command Processor reads

C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

The system cannot find the drive specified. 

What do I need to do to recover System32

@LadyTye 

The restoration failed!  System32 is a folder that contains lots and lots of Windows system files.  You do not want to remove it because if you did, Windows would no longer function.

 

This error message indicates that  some or all of the components in that folder are missing or corrupt.

 

So, the restoration process you used did not actually work.
