Clever use of Win 2K/XP/2003 Recovery Console

The Recovery Console is a tool dedicated to repairing Windows 2000/XP/2003. It can enable and disable services, format drives, and drive locally. Reading and writing data (including drives formatted as NTFS file systems), and performing many other management tasks, is the "magic" of the system when we can't access Windows 2000/XP/2003 security mode. This issue of E12 has an introduction to the installation of the Recovery Console. This article will further explore the Recovery Console.

1.Using the Recovery Console

After selecting “ Microsoft Windows Recovery Console” on the computer startup, when prompted, enter the administrator ( Administrator) password. Then at the system prompt, type the “Recovery Console” command. Enter “help” to get a list of command names, enter the “help command name” to get help with the specified command.

In the faulty console, we can use Attrib, Batch, Bootcfg, ChDir (CD), Chkdsk, Cls, Copy, Delete (Del), Dir, Disable, Format, Diskpart, Enable, Expand, Fixmbr, Fixboot and other commands to fix various problems that occur on the computer.

2. Introduction to Practical Commands

Obviously, many commands in the Recovery Console are familiar to us and will not be described here. The following are some of the commands that ordinary users usually do not use often. With them, we can easily complete many system maintenance tasks.

1Diskpart

Role: Create and delete partitions on your hard drive.

Syntax: Diskpart [/add |  /delete] [device_name |  Drive_name |  Partition_name] [size]

Parameters: If you do not take any parameters, the Windows character mode version of Diskpart will be started.

/add——Create a new partition;

/delete——Delete an existing partition;

drive_name——A partition to be deleted represented by a drive letter , only with “/delete”, such as “E:”;

partition_name—— the partition to be deleted represented by the partition name, can be used instead of <quo;drive_name”, (only with &ldquo ;/delete”Used at the same time;

size——The size of the partition to be created, expressed in megabytes (MB), used only with “/add”.

Instance:

Delete F partition ——diskpart /delete F:

Create a 200MB partition ——diskpart /add \\Device\\HardDisk0 200< Br>

2Fixboot

Function: Write the new partition boot sector to the specified partition.

Syntax: Fixboot [drive]

Parameters: Without any parameters, the Fixboot command will write a new partition boot sector to the system partition where the user is logged in. If the system detects an invalid or non-standard partition table tag, it will prompt the user to continue executing the command, and do not proceed unless there is a problem with the drive you are accessing. Writing a new master boot record to the system partition can corrupt the partition table and cause the partition to become inaccessible.

Instance: Write a new partition boot sector &mdash to the system partition of drive D; —Fixboot D:

3.Delete Recovery Console

The recovery console works great, but if you don't like it, you can remove it manually. To do this:

Open “My Computer", double-click the hard drive where the Recovery Console is installed, assuming the C drive. Click the <quo;Tools →Folder Options>, select the “View” tab, check the box next to the "Show all files and folders" option, clear “ Hide protected operating system files ” checkbox before the option, & ldquo; OK & rdquo; exit.

Now go to the root directory of the C drive and delete the folder "Cmdr" from the folder "Cmdr". Right-click on the Boot.ini file and select “Properties'; in the window that opens, clear the “read-only” checkbox, “OK" Open the Boot.ini file in “Notepad” and delete the entry in the Recovery Console (usually "C:\\cmdcons\\bootsect.dat="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console"/cmdcons”), save the file After closing, finally restore the read-only property of the Boot.ini file.
