Using The System Recovery Console To Perform A System Recovery?

Aug 23, 2006

I need to do a System Recovery to restore my system back to its factory settings (I'm using WinXP Home). When I hit F10 upon startup in order to access the system recovery, nothing happens- it boots as it would regularly. I was able to boot up using the CD, and am now in the System Recovery console. Might anyone tell me what I need to do to perform a non-destructive, or even a destrucitve system recovery?

Jan 11, 2007

My question is regarding the recovery console available on Compaq machines. Is there a similar program to the Compaq recovery console that allows for the home user to install and back up their systems in a nearly identical manner as to how to Compaq R.C. works?

Unmountable Volume - Can't Launch Recovery Console Through Recovery Disc?

Sep 5, 2008

Hoping to avoid a full reinstall of Windows XP, I'd like to try some repair procedures. The problem is, when I launch my "Vaio PCV-RS430G" recovery disc it goes straight to Sony's proprietary recovery interface which provides ONLY the preset option to wipe my 'c' drive and reinstall Windows. According to some MS articles I've read, an XP recovery disc should allow me to access the Windows Recovery Console (by typing "R" at the welcome screen). Can anyone suggest how I can bypass the Sony recovery and get to the Windows Recovery Console?

Cant Access Recovery Console Any More

Jul 14, 2005

My problem is (to cut a long story short) that I have some dodgy .dll files, messing up my computer (XP) and preventing me from installing anything (not fun when the my computer fixer guy has reinstalled windows, failed to fix it, charged me fifty quid for the privelege, and left me with next to no software on it - not even word).i bought a very informative xp troubleshooting manual yesterday, and i can see my only option is to replace the files using the windows recovery console (I cant replaced them from within windows as its always using them).However, when I try to access the recovery console (in the manner advocated by my book, windows help, and numerous internet pages), by booting up from my recovery cds, and pressing R, i get taken to system recovery, a user friendly interface displaying 3 options for reformatting the whole system, and nothing else. this is obviously not the command prompt interface for the recovery console that i was expecting to be faced with.

Can't Start Recovery Console

Sep 7, 2005

I'm running XP Pro on a standard ASUS-based PC, and I cannot get the Recovery Console to start up properly. It gets as far as allowing me to enter my password, but then reverts to a C prompt. It won't accept my password, whether I enter it in uppercase, lowercase or mized. I tried changed the password to something new and that didn't work, either.

Recovery Console At Boot

Aug 12, 2002

The recovery console is a very useful application for getting to your data without having to boot XP. If a registry error due to hard disk corruption prevents you from booting XP even in Safe Mode, then it may be the only way.The recovery console is accessible from the XP CD if you boot from disc. If your CD is damaged, however, you may have no way of booting your system without reformatting the hard drive. This means data loss. Data loss tends to create distress esp. if you have no backups.Here is a way to make the recovery console an option in the Windows XP "OS Choices" menu. Do this before an inevitable registry corruption.1. Insert your Windows XP CD.2. Run {CD-ROM drive letter}:i386winnt32.exe /cmdcons3. A dialog comes up saying it takes 10mb, etc., etc. Click yes to install.If you don't normally see the OS choices menu at boot, go into system properties (winkey+pause), click the advanced tab, and xlixk Startup and Recovery. Check Time to Display List of OSs if it is unchecked, and then set the timeout value to a decent number of seconds.Apply the settings, reboot, and you should see two boot options.Here are some KB articles on how to use the recovery console and how to recover from a corrupted

System32 / Cannot Access The Recovery Console

Jun 1, 2008

I cannot access the recovery console to do anything further. also, i do not own an Windows XP Professional CD as the computer came preloaded with it and was a hand-me-down. consequently, i cannot seem to do anything with it. i have gone into the BIOS settings and changed it to boot from cd as i burned a copy of what i thought was a windows xp professional disc (said it was legal to do as long as it was for private use). however, the computer wont boot from the disc, or any disc for that matter.

Access Denied To Certain Dir When Using Recovery Console

Feb 24, 2009

My security software keeps a log of deleted/quarantined files but when I try to look at the "program files" directory where the log is kept using the recovery console disk it says "access denied". There is no admin password on the system that I know of. My command of DOS is limited, is there anyway of gaining access to the directory using the recovery console? Why is it telling me access denied when I am logged on as admin ?

Access Denied In Recovery Console

Aug 14, 2005

I have been trying to repair a malfunction in XP Home that doesn't allow me to logon to Windows. When the computer boots up it displays a screen that gives me 5 options for starting up, all of which restart the computer when selected. I have been following the procedure in the XP support article Q307545 to remedy this problem and I have made it as far as the command prompt in the recovery console. However, when I try to type in the first command 'md tmp' I receive the message 'access denied.'

Access Is Denied In Recovery Console

Jan 22, 2007

I have had a problem with the missing file windowssystem32configsystem and I have tried the fixes outlined on microsoft.com, however I am encountering a problem. When I go into the recovery area it does not ask me which version I want to use and doesn't ask me for a password. Then when I type a command it tells me 'access is denied'. I have gotten some commands to work (ie chkdsk, chkdsk /r fix, and fixboot). Also, when it wants me to type a command it has C:> before it and doesn't mention windows anywhere. I would really appreciate it if someone would help - there are a few files on the computer that I would really like to keep!

Recently, my computer has recieved a massive error. Upon startup, the windows xp logog displays and the little blue bar starts moving, then about 1 second later the bar freezes, and BSOD STOP: 0x7e appears.

I hit R, it all loads, then where it asks "Which Windows installation would you like to log into?" it displays

System Recovery Fatal Error - No Operating System Found

Sep 12, 2008

I tried to do a System Recovery today on my Sony laptop. Got 41% completed and had a fatal error. Options given were Ignore, Retry or Abort. Attempted a Retry. Got a fatal error message and everything locked up. I ended up shutting down and when I turned the computer on again it said no operating system found. Where did I screw up?

This is a six year old Sony, XP, AMD 1.0Ghz. Everything was working at the time I tried the System Recovery EXCEPT I was constantly getting low space messages for drive C. I have no files on this drive and very little software. It is a 20G hard drive partioned into two 10G partitions.

Use The Recovery Console To Replace The Start Menu

Oct 28, 2006

a while ago now I noticed in my start menu a blank space, see picture HERE
The space at the bottom of the start menu has not been removed with the methods i have tried. I used registry cleaners, tried system restore, tried all available options in task bar & start menu options all with no change. I read an article on how to do a system repair, in the article it said that programs might be affected and would have to be reinstalled if they didn't work correctly. My question is can I use the recovery console to replace the start menu and if so I will need instruction on how to do the proceedure as I'm basically novice and dont know the proceedures.

I was trying to copy the hive files from a restore point when the computer suddenly crashed with a BSOD (Stop x0D1 DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). I was simply typing at the prompt when it occurred.

How To Reset Recovery Console Password On RAID?

Aug 18, 2009

I was trying to repair a corrupt windowssystem32configsystem file using the recovery console - that did not work. Now, when I use the recovery console I am asked for an administrator password, which of course I do not know. A further complication is that the machine is configured with RAID (striped disks using Intel Matrix), so booting from any kind of recovery disk requires further drivers to be loaded. The ERD password reset tool I am using (not sure of the name but it is Linux based, and free) seems to allow support for RAID, but I can not get it to work (NTFS signature missing). I have tried 'fetching' the drivers from a floppy, but that does not seem to help. So where can I go from here? Are there any other password recovery tools that definitely support Intel Matrix Raid?

Pci.sys Not Found - Access Recovery Console Repair

Nov 24, 2009

It all started when I was busy typing out an essay I heard my computer making some weird noise. It's the sort of noise I hear when my computer turns off completely. I decided after hearing it enough times to turn off my computer then turn it back on after a couple of minutes.Upon turning it on it gave me a black screen saying WINDOWSDRIVERSISAPNP.SYS could not be found and to insert the Windows XP CD and to hit 'r' to access recovery console to repair it, fine. I don't have my Dell's Windows XP Media Centre Edition CD (don't even think I got one back in 05) so I got a friend to give me a pirated XP Music Edition, Pirated XP Media Centre, and I even took my cousins LEGIT Windows XP Edition.
