Hi,
Actually what's the recovery console designed for? Is that used when you
can't boot into the OS, and use the recovery console to reinstall the system
files? How if I got another OS, is it the same as I boot into the other OS
and copy the system files from the cdrom back to the corrupted OS? Thx a
lot.

It doesn't do much, but then there isn't much that needs to be done to
fix the NT boot loader. You can fix your boot.ini file, fix the boot
sector and master boot record, and extract your ntldr and ntdetect.com
from the CD. As you said, it's good for when you can't get booting started.

If you can get Windows to start to boot, you can press F8 to get several
options for fixing other booting problems. You can choose Last Known
Good Configuration to boot after you have installed some hardware device
that destroyed your system. You can choose safe mode boot to avoid
loading problematic drivers.

If you can safe mode boot, you can run System Restore to go back in time
to before your system wouldn't boot.
