Need help with a delicate matter. . .

[Guest Tony Sperling]

I just recovered from an issue that demanded Recovery Console and the aid of

FIXMBR. As you can see, I'm here and all went well. However, running from a

RAID set, it becomes an added irritation to digg out the floppy drive and

disk with the SATA/RAID drivers just to boot from the DVD and fire up the

Console. I know there is a method by which you can install the Console to

HD, and I know that MS is having a page that describes this in detail but -

honestly, I don't understand it - the prescription seems to lead me round in

circles and I change appearance into being a breathing questionmark.

 

Anybody here know of other resources that I can turn to, or alternatively

have personal familiarity with it to talk me through this?

 

I realize that this may be more demanding than I can reasonably expect from

the community, and in truth it works fine as it is, this all happened as a

consequence of removing a dual-boot configuration, but I may not be

completely done with dual-booting on this machine, so I think it would be a

nice thing to have now that they actually provided us the opportunity.

I used this link to install the recovery console on my machine

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654

 

If that is the same link you used...please post back with your specific

questions...

it seemed pretty self-explanatory

Thanks Philo!

 

I agree, this could hardly be any simpler, and I intensely hope it was

something else I read.

 

An unforeseeable outcome transpired from my excercise, and now it seems I

will have to continue dual-booting together with the 32bit Home Edition

anyway. Having the Console available in each, would require both Console

Editions to be installed, I assume?

I have never done a dual boot system with two seperate recovery consoles

but would I think it should be possible.

You'd just have to be sure each one was labeled in such a way so you'd know

whichone was whicj
