You boot from your install media to start the RC. To start the Recovery
Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000 Setup CD or the Windows
2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup floppy disks and your
computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD, use another Windows
2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks. Press ENTER at the
"Setup Notification" screen. Press R to repair a Windows 2000 installation,
and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console then
prompts you for the administrator password. If you do not have the correct
password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the computer. If an
incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery Console quits and
restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted or missing or no
valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts in the root of
the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot access any
folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot, and fixmbr
for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated, you have
full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard disk.
You can only access the following folders on your computer: drive root,
%systemroot% or %windir%
