How do I use the Windows XP Recovery Console?

The Windows XP Recovery Console can be used to repair problems which prevent a Windows XP system from booting.


Boot Windows XP from CD or Floppy
First, boot the computer from the Microsoft Windows XP CD.
If you don't have a Microsoft Windows XP CD, or if the computer you are working on does not have a CD drive, you can boot from a set of Windows XP Bootable disks. If you need a set of boot disks, read How to obtain Windows XP Setup boot disks.

Start the XP Recovery Console
When the system boots, you will be presented with a screen that gives you three choices:
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft 

Windows XP to run on your computer: 

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER. 

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R. 

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
Press the <R> to start the Recovery Console.

Choose which Windows Installation to Repair
The next prompt will ask you which Windows installation you want to recover:
Microsoft Windows(R) Recovery Console 

The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality. 
Type EXIT to quit the Recovery Console and restart the computer. 

1: C:\WINDOWS 

Which Windows Installation would you like to log on to 
(To cancel, press ENTER)?

Enter the Windows XP Administrator Password
When prompted, enter the Microsoft Windows XP Local Administrator password. If you do not know this password, read How can I recover a lost Windows XP Administrator Password?.
