Recovery Console menu and other Menus missing from XP installation pro

[acteon]

I have an XP installation CD.

I'm using WINNT.SIF in this CD, because I want some system folders addressed at specific positions (Program Files, Common Program Files, etc... in different partitions).

Now I need to do an XP repair (that is, an XP installation repair).

I boot from this XP CD hoping I will reach the Recovery Console menu, and hoping I will be able to skip this menu to get to the other menu where I can choose an XP repair installation.

But my CD doesn't display the Recovery Console menu, and I'm not given an option for a repair installation neither.

Does it have something to do with the use of WINNT.SIF?

An if it does, what should I do to be able to perform a repair installation, so that this process respects the locations for system folders I specified within the WINNT.SIF file ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Have you removed Manual Install and Upgrade with nlite? by chance.
