how can i add Recovery Console to Unattended Windows XP

[Delphianrex]

hi everybody

as you know if you make a winXP CD fully unattended, the recovery console will be removed

from it.

i`d like to know if there is a method to make a bootmenu for win CD in order to have 2 ways of installing windowsxp

1-unattended mode

2-Normal mode

i`ve searched alot for it but unfortunately i got nothing

Thanks in advance

thanks for your reply men

but seems non of you have got what I mean

I mean there are sometimes that you need to work with Recoveryconsol but coz the Windows Installation is set on Unattended mode you wont have the RecoveryConsole!!!!!

now i wanna know how I can add an Installation Menu to windows CD in order to have Unattended and Normal Installation mode on one Windows CD at the same time

You need to make a multi boot cd, follow guide here : http://flyakite.msfn.org/

I use that method for me, 1 CD ~600mb for 6 different install (xp home, pro & vlm each in normal or unattended)

btw, you can install recovery console unattended in a unattended install, use batch

start /w winnt32 /dudisable /cmdcons /unattend
bootcfg /timeout 1

in cmdlines.txt and works great ...

will this work?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole]
"SetCommand"=dword:00000000
"SecurityLevel"=dword:00000001

All you need to do is make a second boot folder that doesn't have an unattend file. When you boot from cd you would select from unattend option and recovery console option.
