Install the Recovery Console

To install the Recovery Console, insert the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM into
your CD-ROM drive, and close the Windows XP Professional CD dialog box if it opens.
Open a Run dialog box or a Command Prompt window in Windows XP Professional,
and run the command drive:\i386\Winnt32.exe /cmdcons, where drive represents the
letter of the CD-ROM or network drive that holds the Windows XP installation files.
After installation, you can start the Recovery Console by choosing it from the list of
installed operating systems—you do not need to have the installation CD.
