Boot to the command prompt, store your current 01 02 03 and rename the saved 
directories back to 01 02 or 03. Then on the next reboot, you have your saved 
image available. Once booted, rename it back or you will lose it within 3 
boots. I choose this method because I have never succesfully edited the CMD 
file to allow for other archives, and it doesn't require any special access. 
I can use an install disk to give me enough access to get the archive 
restored. I also figure I will have tried the 3 autosaves before I give up 
and grab a renamed archive.
