Installing XP Recovery Console

I have read the document telling me how to do it
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/307654#3
the problem is when it goes through it then comes up with an error message
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:

check for viruses on your computer. remove any newly installed
hard drives or hard drive controllers. check your hard drive
to make sure it is properly configured and terminated.
run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then
restart your computer.

Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7AFA63C, 0xC0000034, 0x0000000, 0x0000000)
what does this mean??

Judging by the last thread you started "HELP URGANT WINDOW MESSED UP"

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...0a9b4290?hl=en

.... the very last thing you should be doing now is attempting to install
the Recovery Console!

Feel free to *run* it from the CD, of course (assuming all your data is
safely backed up). To do this, you need to boot off the CD.
Instructions:

Scroll down to:

"To start the computer and use the Recovery Console"

IIRC, you have a bootable CD that only has the XP Recovery Console on
it, not an entire Windows XP installation CD, correct?

Also note that if Windows is compromised completely, you should perform
a Clean Install of Windows XP. Assuming you don't have an XP
installation CD, you need to determine the method Acer provided you to
return your PC to its original condition. This would either be a
recovery CD or instructions to access your hard drive's hidden recovery
parition and return the PC to its original condition using that.

Have you backed up all your important data? If not, that is the very
first thing you should be focused on! Typically, you would need an
external hard drive for this. A bootable rescue CD (that you can build
yourself) is also necessary if you choose to leave your problematic hard
drive in the PC. The other option is to remove the hard drive and place
it another PC as a slave.

If the above is too difficult and/or time-consuming (which for many it
is), you would be well advised to seek a competent local computer tech.
Avoid all the chains (like Geek Squad)!

Use NirSoft's tiny program, "BlueScreenView" to tell you
what is causing the crash:
