Recovery Console
I'm running Windows XP SP3. It is worth it to delete SP3 in order to
install the Recovery Console and then to reinstall SP3? I also use Acronis True Image and I'm trying to decide which would be the best way to go if I can't get Windows to boot up.

Recovery Console
You don't really need to install the Recovery Console, if you ever need
to use it you can just start it by booting with the Windows XP CD. If you really want to install it I would recommend that you create an XP CD with SP3 slipstreamed (incorporated) into it or try to install the Recovery Console from the SP3 folder instead of the Windows XP CD. Basically what is happening is that the SP2 Winnt32.exe version cannot be run on the newer SP3 installation. See here for details, the article is for SP2 but the same kind of thing happens with SP3: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898594/ You receive an error message if you try to install the Recovery Console on a Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer John DaffyDŽ wrote: I'm running Windows XP SP3.

I think it would be easiest just to boot it with the Windows XP CD. Thanks
as always for your advice. "John John - MVP" wrote in message ...

Recovery Console
I got the error message while trying to install it. As John John suggested,
I'm just going to run it from the CD if I need to. It's way too much trouble following around with deleting SP3 and creating the SP2 installation folders and such. "David B." wrote in message ...

Recovery Console
If you do a web search for "Create Bootable USB Drive Recovery Console", you can
download a small package that allows you to install the Recovery Console to a USB flash-drive and boot from that... I don't want to encourage you to be lazy but, here is one such link I found with google : http://www.technixupdate.com/create-...overy-console/ == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "DaffyDŽ" wrote in message ...
