How to use the Recovery Console command prompt

In last section we all ready discussed about how to use recovery console in Windows XP. But you can use recovery console though command prompt. Now i am going to discuss about How to Use Recovery Console in Windows XP using command prompt. It provide you computer help for recover the console via command prompt.

When you use the Recovery Console, you are working at a special command prompt instead of the ordinary Windows command prompt. The Recovery Console has its own command interpreter. To enter this command interpreter, you are prompted by Recovery Console to type the local Administrator password.

When the Recovery Console starts, you can press F6 to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver, in case you need such a driver to access the hard disk. This prompt works the same as it does during Computer Set-Up and Installation Services.

The Recovery Console takes several seconds to start. When the Recovery Console menu appears, a numbered list of the Windows installations on the computer appears. (Generally, only c:\Windows exists.) Press a number before you press ENTER, even when only one entry appears. If you press ENTER without selecting a number, the computer restarts and begins the process again.

When you see the prompt for %SystemRoot% (generally C:\Windows), you can start using the available commands for the Recovery Console.

How to Use Recovery Console in Windows XP

The Recovery Console is a feature of the Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. It provides the means for administrators to perform a limited range of tasks using a command line interface. Its primary function is to enable administrators to recover from situations where Windows does not boot as far as presenting its graphical user interface.

How to use the Recovery Console Command promt
You can enable and disable services, format drives, read and write data on a local drive (including drives that are formatted to use the NTFS file system), and perform many other
administrative tasks. The Recovery Console is particularly useful if you have to do computer repair by copying a file from a disk or CD-ROM to your hard disk, or if you have to
reconfigure a service that is preventing your computer from starting correctly.

If you cannot start your computer, you can run the Recovery Console from the Microsoft Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM. This article describes how to perform
this task.After Windows XP is installed on your computer, to start the computer and use the Recovery Console you require the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM.

Note To start the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, you must configure the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer to start from your CD-ROM drive.

To run the Recovery Console from the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM, follow these steps:
1. Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows
XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer. Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted.
2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you
must access from the Recovery Console.
4. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
5. At the command prompt, type the appropriate commands to diagnose and repair your
Windows XP installation.

For a list of commands that are available in Recovery Console, type recovery console commands or help at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

For information about a specific command, type help command name at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

Desktop Computing System

The first, and still the largest market in dollar terms, is desktop computing. Desktop computing spans from low-end systems that sell for under $1,000 to highend, heavily-configured workstations that may sell for over $10,000. Throughout this range in price and capability, the desktop market tends to be driven to optimize price-performance.

This combination of performance (measured primarily in terms of computer performance and graphics performance) and price of a system is what matters most to customers in this market and hence to computer designers.

As a result desktop systems often are where the newest, highest performance microprocessors appear, as well as where recently cost-reduced microprocessors.

and systems appear first (see section 1.4 on page 14 for a discussion of the issues affecting cost of computers).

Desktop computing also tends to be reasonably well characterized in terms of

applications and benchmarking, though the increasing use of web-centric, interactive

applications poses new challenges in performance evaluation. As we discuss

in Section 1.9 (Fallacies, Pitfalls), the PC portion of the desktop space seems

recently to have become focused on clock rate as the direct measure of performance,

and this focus can lead to poor decisions by consumers as well as by designers

who respond to this predilection that is why it is better to find out the solution to optimum computer performance.
