Backup Exec System Recovery, Can't Map Drive to Restore Server

I was trying to map the machine that needed to be recovered to a network share from the Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Bootable Recovery CD.. The interface would map the drive but never let me get into it. It also wouldn't ask me for credentials.

I found a way around this, if you go back to the screen where you select the file image to use, click browse. Double Click Computer. Select your C drive, but don't double click it. Hold Down Shift + F10. A menu should come up with an option to go to the command line.

Map your share from the command line:

net use r: \\server\sharename /user:domain\username password

I was then able to get back to the browse window and select the image to restore from the share.
