The Recovery Console gives you access to a DOS like environment where you can try to fix things you suspect are wrong.

You should definitely install the Recovery Console if you're a power user. Just do the following:

Put your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Click Start, and then click the Run command.

In the Open text box, type

D:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons



Change the drive letter to your CD drive if D: is not your CD drive letter (don't type spaces in the filename).

In the Windows Setup dialog box you'll see a description of the Recovery Console. Read it and then click Yes to install.

Restart the computer. The next time you start your computer, you will see a "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" entry on the boot menu.

the Recovery Console as a startup option ,help
