The image is stored in guru's homedirectory, in an existing subdirectory "Downloads/DUMPS".
Read the message.
Acknowledge that you want to make a connection.

All available images are listed. Choose "win-lin" for the image file to restore.
The target/destination disk is local disk "sda".
Use the partition table from the image.
Skip checking the image before restoring.
