No longer R Option during XP Install

Recommended Posts


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
