| 98401 | 2002-11-14 00:51:00 | Here's some info on the recovery console, personaly I wouldnt worry about not having help & support, its useless anyway . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recovery Console overview If safe mode and other startup options do not work, you can consider using the Recovery Console . This method is recommended only if you are an advanced user who can use basic commands to identify and locate problem drivers and files . In addition, you must be an administrator to use the Recovery Console . Using the Recovery Console, you can enable and disable services, format drives, read and write data on a local drive (including drives formatted to use NTFS), and perform many other administrative tasks . The Recovery Console is particularly useful if you need to repair your system by copying a file from a floppy disk or CD-ROM to your hard drive, or if you need to reconfigure a service that is preventing your computer from starting properly . There are two ways to start the Recovery Console: If you are unable to start your computer, you can run the Recovery Console from your Setup CD . As an alternative, you can install the Recovery Console on your computer to make it available in case you are unable to restart Windows . You can then select the Recovery Console option from the list of available operating systems on startup . After you start the Recovery Console you will have to choose which installation you want to log on to (if you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system) and you will have to log on with your administrator password . The console provides commands you can use to do simple operations such as changing to a different directory or viewing a directory, and more powerful operations such as fixing the boot sector . You can access Help for the commands in the Recovery Console by typing help at the Recovery Console command prompt . For information on starting and using the Recovery Console, see Related Topics . Once you are running the Recovery Console, you can get help on the available commands by typing help at the command prompt . |
