IP address is assigned to the network interface.
5. Enter NET USE Z: \\servername\sharename at the command prompt, where
\\servername\sharename is the UNC path to a network share where the data will be
copied.
6. If prompted, enter the username and password for the share that you are accessing.
When the share is mapped to the Z: drive, you can use Robocopy to copy files from the system

Drive letters are not assigned after a restore

When a system that has existing data volumes (non-operating system volumes) is restored using
the System Recovery DVD, the data volumes will not have drive letters assigned to them. This
is by design. The volume labels are retained and can be used to identify the data volumes.
You can assign drive letters to volumes using diskpart.exe or Disk Management.
To use Disk Management:
1. Click Start→Windows PowerShell.
The Windows PowerShell window opens.
2. Enter diskmgmt.msc and press Enter.
The Disk Management window opens.
3. Right-click the disk and partition the one for which you want to assign a drive letter and select
Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Creating a system recovery USB flash drive using the System Recovery
DVD
If you create a backup copy of the System Recovery DVD using a USB flash drive, you can also
use it to restore the system.
To create a system recovery USB flash drive using the System Recovery DVD:
1. Obtain a blank 8 GB or larger USB flash drive.
2. Insert the USB flash device into your workstation or laptop.
3. Open an elevated command prompt with Administrator privileges.
4. At the command prompt, enter diskpart.
5. At the diskpart prompt, enter list disk.
6. Identify the disk number that corresponds to the flash drive. This is typically the last disk
listed.
