Ah, The recovery console is primarily started from the Windows XP Install disc. You can also install it to run from the hard drive by installing it. This is installed by running "winnt32.exe /cmdcons" from the i386 folder on the CD.
This console is usually used when the system is completely unbootable. I usually use it to restore the registry or run CHKDSK when the volume is too corrupted to mount, or the correct boot file problems. There are a few other uses as well. The console has only limited system access and only supports certain commands. The Recovery Console is described in detail in the KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314058 --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > In a message dated 11/22/2005 7:23:49 P.M.
