recovery console

[storm]

hi all, i've been trying to install the recovery console with no luck. i've tried two different cd's and both times it launches a dos pop-up window then it closes and nothing else happens.

have rebooted f8 and checkec boot options to see if it installed but no go. any suggestions?

thanks

note to self: don't try to load the recovery console from a dell w2k disc

how did you try to install it ?

the right way is

insert win2k cdrom

type in start-> Run:

(cd-rom letter):\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons

condor, just the way you said. i was trying to use a dell recovery disc and it was no joy every time. lots of alert boxes about not being able to upgrade can't find this dll or that dll.

i used a none oem cd and it worked just fine.

thanks.
