Install the recovery console

[Karen]

Is there any way of installing this after SP2 is put on
the machine ?

I keep getting messages saying the version of XP on the
hard drive is more recent than the one on CD and the
command fails

Hi

You will need a slipstreamed SP2 CD to install the Recovery Console:

Download the SP2 file (266 MBs) from here:

and then following the directions in the following article:
