Abstract
The present invention provides a method and tool for restoring a crashed operation system of a computer, for example, by operating under DOS environment to restore a crashed Windows system without requiring a long time setup and reinstallation. According to the present invention, a matching table for short file names to long file names is established for all files (containing directory names) on a disk. Then the long file names can be retrieved from short file names in accordance with the matching table. Since the long file names are stored in Unicode, they are workable for operation systems of any language.
