Below are some important things to realize when using the Microsoft Windows recovery console.
1. You will need to know the Microsoft Windows administrator password.
2. Before running the Windows recovery console you need to realize you will need to have at least some experience using MS-DOS.
3. You only have access to root directory and the Microsoft Windows or Winnt directory. This means you cannot open any other directory.
First, to get into the Microsoft Windows recovery console you must have a Microsoft Windows CD. Place the Windows CD in your computer and boot from the CD.
Once in the Microsoft Windows Setup screen choose one of the below options,
* To repair a Windows XP installation using recovery console, press R.
As shown above Windows XP users only need to press R to enter the recovery console.
After getting to the Microsoft Windows recovery console you need to select the Windows installation you wish to log onto. Therefore press 1 if you wish to edit the primary Windows installation.
After selecting the installation you will be prompted for the administrator password, enter the password exactly as you would in Windows. If you do not know the Windows administrator password you cannot enter the recovery mode.
Finally after you have entered the password you will be at a MS-DOS prompt similar to the MS-DOS shell window you can get through Windows. However, you will also have access to many additional commands not found in standard MS-DOS mode.
* Typing in help at the prompt will give a complete listing of all commands available through the prompt.
