Crash Recovery: Power Outage Problem!

Hi Josh,

Usually, you can't. Once the damage is done, it's done. To prevent these
incidents in the future, you might consider investing in a UPS unit. For
System Restore, you should disable it, reboot, and reenable it. It will lose
all existing restore points, but at least it will be working again.
