I don't know anyone that has actually used those diskettes. There is a MUCH better way to run the RC:

Here's how you can burn a bootable CD that automatically runs the Repair Console.

Recovery console for those without an XP disk

Greetings from Emporia, Kansas where there are a lot of cattle and the tall grass prairie still exists.

The Windows XP Recovery Console is a command-line application for repairing XP systems. It is included on full Windows XP disks but is often missing from systems that come with only a "restore" disk. It is possible to download a program from Microsoft that will create a set of six floppies that contain the Recovery Console but it’s a pretty clunky way of doing things.

A reader, Dean Adams, has created a nice package that allows for the creation of a bootable CD instead. He has made the creation as easy as possible for the user. His package includes all the software needed and detailed instructions. Download the package here:

Dean has written a batch file that does all the work.

Details on using the Recovery Console are at:http://commandwindows.com/recovery.htm.

If you have any difficulties using the Recovery Console then post back with your questions. I have written some RC user tutorials, but they are pretty in-depth.
