Bzip2 compressed images are not supported under windows.
Bzip2 compressed multivolumes are not supported under windows and linux.

How to use under Windows

Download pimgrestore.exe.

You have to create a partition and assign a drive letter. We use for this example S. Formatting this partition is not required.

We want to restore the image testimage.000 to the drive letter S:. Be careful. This can destroy your data!

Run from the commandline pimgrestore testimage.000 \\.\S:

Update the partition type ID with plppart32.

You can see an example how to use pimgrestore with the Flybuntu installation in the setup.bat (flybuntuinstall.zip 0.2MB).
