If you need to use the commands - probably best to restore only your windows partition (the 300gb ) shouldn't have any trouble with that.
X:\Windows\system32>WBADMIN GET VERSIONS -backuptarget:d:
(Obviously use the drive letter your backup is stored on for the backuptarget instead of d ) It will return something like below - should show two volumes - I only had one in that backup
Backup target: Fixed Disk labeled APPS(C:)
Version identifier: 04/26/2010-17:23
Can recover: Volume(s), File(s)
Snapshot ID: {f18b9ea0-b902-43ae-a1b7-446e66113aaf}
( You want to restore only your windows partition - it was probabaly C when you were in windows - if so, it will be listed as C above. The recovery target is the letter you want to restore TO , so use that instead of f )
X:\Windows\system32>WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:04/26/2010-17:23 -itemType:V
olume -items:c: -backuptarget:d: -recoverytarget:f:
