The Windows 2000 Recovery Console is a
command-line interface used to perform a variety of troubleshooting
and recovery tasks. These include starting and stopping services,
reading and writing data on a local drive (including drives that are
formatted with the NTFS file system), and formatting hard disks. Once
the recovery console has been started, use the commands from the
command line to remove, replace, or copy corrupt files.
There is more than one way to start the Recovery Console. The first way is to insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and wait for the Microsoft Windows 2000 CD dialog box to open. If it does not start, go to the Run command window on the Start menu and type cmd. This will display the command prompt window. Change to the drive letter of the CD-ROM, then to the I386 folder, and run the winnt32 command with the /cmdcons switch. After the Recovery Console is installed, access it from the "Please Select Operating System To Start" menu. The recovery console can also be started by starting the system with the Windows 2000 setup disks or the CD, and selecting the option when prompted.FIXMBR and FIXBOOT The FIXBOOT command writes a new boot sector onto the system partition. The syntax for the command is FIXBOOT [drive:]. It is important to note that if the [drive:] option is not specified, FIXBOOT writes the boot sector to the default boot partition. Specify a different drive if a boot sector is to be written to a volume other than the default boot partition.
