3. Use the advanced (volume restore) option of FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery to restore the system volume to the system volume partition created using the windows installation. For more information regarding the volume restore process see step nine of the "Using the FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery CD for bare machine recovery on your Windows system" section.).

When loading the FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery CD configure the virtual machine to BIOS boot (not UEFI boot). When the restore process is over, configure the machine back to UEFI boot.
