Recovery Console after XP Sp2

Hello friends;

Can you tell me how to add Recovery Console to the OSs choice menu
after installing Xp Sp2

"cmdcons" give an error saying " version of windows on your computer is newer than the version on cd.

c:\ win 98se :fat32
d:\ win xp + sp2 : fat32

regards

You can install Recovery Console, AFTER SP2 installation, via the following workaround.....

For this you need the full network version of SP2.

1]Open a command prompt in the folder containing the SP2 installer and type
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe -x
Choose a folder to extract the files to e.g. file:///c:/SP2files

2]Make a backup of the file winnt32.exe in c:\windows\i386

3]Replace the winnt32.exe file in c:\windows\i386 with the identically named file in C:\sp2files\i386 (or in the i386 folder in the folder where
you extracted the files)

4]Open a command prompt at c:\windows\i386
Type winnt32.exe /cmdcons
Recovery Console should install
(Ignore the first error message, if any)

5]Replace the winnt32.exe in c:\windows\i386 with its original version

well, if u just want to use the console once for something like removing Linux, then just boot from the cd and use the recovery console from there.

Enjoy :twisted:
