No longer R Option during XP Install

[Male22]

Hi, when I use the xp installation done with hfslip, during the windows xp setup, I no longer can see the R options to access to the Recovery Console.

Can you help me ?

Thanks

Seems you've deleted some folders from the i386 source folder, maybe?

You need to have the winntupg folder in SOURCE/i386.

hello! winntupg folder is needed for the recovery console ...

Hello!

When booting from CD-ROM you should see "Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver..."

At this screen press F10

Let the loading of the usual drivers continue ( hopefully you have the sufficient drivers to access the harddisk ).

The next Windows Setup screen will then present you the option to press R = Recovery Console.

I have tested this on XP to clean up using Recovery Console command 'fixmbr' and 'fixboot' after a rather

unsuccessful test-run of a dual-boot setup.

This "backdoor" to Recovery Console is open even when the file 'I386\winnt.sif' [data] section have UnattendedInstall=Yes
