Let Windows XP fix the fault itself

The Recovery Console is a tool dedicated to 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 Turning into a drive for the NTFS file system) and performing many other administrative tasks is a "magic weapon" to fix the system when Windows 2000/XP/2003 security mode is not accessible.

1. Using the Recovery Console

When the computer starts, select "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" (that is, the Recovery Console), 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 "help command name" to get help for 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. Practical Commands Introduction

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 of "Old Tree New Flower DOS3", the Expand and Rmdir commands that can be used in the Recovery Console are described.

1Diskpart

Action: Create and delete partitions on your hard drive.

Syntax: Diskpart [/add /delete] [device_name drive_name partition_name] [size]

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

/add - create a new partition;

/delete - delete the existing partition;

drive_name - the partition to be deleted represented by the drive letter, only with "/delete" is used at the same time, such as "E:";

partition_name - the partition to be deleted represented by the partition name, which can be used instead of "drive_name" (used only with "/delete"); Br>

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

2Fixboot

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

Syntax: Fixboot [drive]

Parameter: If you do not take any parameters, the Fixboot command will write the new partition boot sector to the system partition where the user logs 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 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. The method is:

Open "My Computer", double-click the hard drive with the Recovery Console installed, assuming C drive. Click "Tools → Folder Options", select the "View" tab, select the check box in front of the "Show all files and folders" option, clear the check box in front of the "Hide protected operating system files" option. Exit after "OK".

Now enter the root directory of the C drive, delete the "\\Cmdcons" folder, Cmldr file. Right-click on the Boot.ini file, select "Properties", clear the "Read-only" checkbox in the window that opens, and "OK" to exit. Then use the "Notepad" to open the Boot.ini file, delete the entry of the Recovery Console (usually "C:\\cmdcons\\bootsect.dat="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console"/cmdcons"), save the file, close, and finally Then restore the read-only property of the Boot.ini file.
