You should need it only very rarely, and you can boot into it directly from your Windows XP installation CD, regardless of your current service pack.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: installing recovery console Having the recovery console installed will give you no extra security whatsoever - being able to boot off the CD gives you exactly the same result. If you're really concerned about your installation becoming inaccessible then you should create yourself a Bart PE boot CD. If gives you full access to the hard disk and it even lets you run many programs.

A good decision must be based on solid facts, e.g. the ones below: - The time it takes to boot into the Recovery Console with a CD. - The time it takes to boot into the Recovery Console from the hard disk. - The amount of time that the OP saves each time. - How often he would do this each year. - How long it takes to create a slip-streamed CD. (including reading and understanding the instructions). I suspect that the OP would save one or two minutes when booting from the hard disk. If he needs the Recovery Console twice each year, then he saves less than two minutes. Finding out how to create a slip-streamed CD, and creating one, takes much, much longer. Things are quite different if the OP's aim is to learn about slip-streaming.
Guest phal Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: installing recovery console At this time I have a 17 yr old son and an 18 yr old chinese exchange student living with me. I have picked up 2 worms, unsure where. They have infected all of my fixed and USB drives. The worms are: VBS_AGENT.AMAF WORM_FACE.AB I am preparing to make registry changes (with Tech Forums as guides) in an effort to get rid of these worms. They have proved to be very stubborn. I will be backing up my registry in the process, but the stuff in the registry is most likely part of the problem. The purpose of installing recovery console is to be able to recover from a boot failure in case one of the changes to remove the worms causes goes awry. If anyone can refer me to a sure fire way to remove these infections, the info will be much appreciated.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: installing recovery console Sorry, I have no experience with removing viruses. Just a general tip: Before you make any changes to the registry, make sure to back up each hive. AFAIR you can do this from the RC like so: 1. Create a suitable folder, e.g. c:\RegistryBackup. 2. Copy all files from c:\windows\system32\config to c:\RegistryBackup. 3. Check that the files were actually copied to the backup location. If something goes wrong then you reverse Step 2 above. Can you still boot into Windows? Or perhaps into Safe Mode? If so then a System Restore might solve your virus problem.
