Michael....Now that I have a clone which worked a month
ago, and which I'm not going to take a chance on damaging
unless I have to........

I can't seem to find your instructions for removing all
trace of RC from my clone.

I found boot.ini and deleted the line which starts c:\
and ends with cmdcons ........ what more is there to be found
and changed or deleted?

Thank you.

Now the reverse question, Patti......I would like to
reinstall RC on my Slave drive, to see if I can
FIXMBR. Can you refer me to a Q or Community Solutions
article for it? And thank you.

I don't think that you're given an option of location to install the
Recovery Console, I believe that it automatically installs to the root of
the system partition. If you're wanting to use Recovery Console, you don't
have to install it to use it.......boot from the XP install CD, and at the
Welcome to Setup screen, choose R for Repair. That will start the Recovery
Console.

Yes, Patti, you are quite correct. I chose R for Repair, and it asked
whether I wanted 1: (C) or 2: (D) and it led me to a prompt (root I
think) and I did FIXMBR and FIXROOT, but when I went back to boot
that drive, I don't get past that same "xxxx\cccc\etc.\system is
missing".
 
Hi William,

Unfortunately, I don't have time to look into the error message that you're
receiving, which prompted you to try running Recovery Console.....I have to
work a doubleshift tonight (am leaving for work in a few minutes), and
probably won't get back to the newsgroups until tomorrow afternoon or later.

Perhaps you could start a new thread in this newsgroup regarding the error
message that you're receiving when you try to boot that drive, and what
you've tried thus far to resolve it.


Regards,
