Let Windows XP fix the fault itself

The Recovery Console is a tool for repairing the system in Windows 2000/XP/2003. It can enable and disable services, format the drive, and read and write data on the local drive (including formatted Turned into a drive for the NTFS file system) and perform many other administrative tasks, it is a "magic" that we can fix when the Windows 2000/XP/2003 security mode is not accessible.

1. Using the Recovery Console

After selecting "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" on the computer startup, when prompted, enter the 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. In this issue, “Old Tree New Flowers says DOS3”, which introduces the Expand and Rmdir commands that can be used in the Recovery Console.

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 , used only with “/delete”, such as “E:”;

partition_name—— partition to be deleted represented by 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 DeviceHardDisk0 200

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.

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

3. Deleting the Recovery Console

Although the Recovery Console works well, 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 "Cmdcons" folder and the Cmldr file. Right-click on the Boot.ini file and select “Properties'; in the window that opens, clear the “read-only” checkbox, “OK" Then open the Boot.ini file in “Notepad”, delete the entry of the Recovery Console (usually "C:cmdconsbootsect.dat="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console"/cmdcons”), close the file after saving the file. Finally, restore the read-only property of the Boot.ini file.
