Recovery console fails after SP2 upgrade

[Ian James]

I've upgraded XP to SP2 and now cannot install Recovery
Console by executing winnt32.exe from the PCs recovery
disk; I get the message that the version of winnt32.exe is
older than the operating system version (which, of course,
it is). Is there a new version of winnt32.exe (and all
the other programs on my recovery disk which will
undoubtedly give the same problem)?; or do I have to get a
new recovery disk from somewhere?

You need to build a slipstreamed version of XP with SP2 installed. From
there the recovery console can be installed or executed as needed.
