W Will Denny Mar 2, 2005 #2 Hi That's because you are probably trying to install the RC from a CD with a previous version of XP on it. You can create a slipstreamed SP2 CD and then install the Recovery Console: You can download the SP2 file (266 MBs) from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...BE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en - or if you have a copy of the SP2 CD, you can copy the xpsp2.exe file from that CD onto your hard disk/partition and use that: then follow the directions in the following article to create a slipstreamed XP CD: http://www.msfn.org/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=49
