You can use the Emergency Recovery console, a command line utility, to perform some of the same recovery operations as the Emergency Recovery application. The utility, which is included on the Windows PE ERD, lets you enter console commands directly or include them in scripts to perform recovery tasks.
If the Emergency Recovery application is open, exit the application.
When you exit the application, a command prompt window remains open.
At the command prompt, change to the following directory:
X:\Program Files\FinallySecure
Run pe_erd_console.exe with the desired parameters. For information about parameters, see Console Parameters.
You can also run the console without any parameters to display usage and option information.
