Recovery Console is a pain, but it gives you some repair tools not available in DOS, like controlling start up services.

I use NTFS on second partition because it is not accessible by DOS anyway. > > If recovery console under XP is anything like that under 2k, its a complete > pain in the backside ... gimme the ability to boot and see everything with > a plain DOS boot disk anyday (which is what you get if you use an overlay > and FAT32) ... lets face it, I can't think of a single advantage of using > NTFS on a libretto.
