Sorry if it is confusing, I will try to make answers clear as possible. I was going to try to run chkdsk using this method.
#Window xp recovery console commands windows#
I do not have any of the Windows disks, but I do have other computers with burning drives. Enter set AllowRemovableMedia true The next command allows you to use wildcards in commands like 'dir' and 'del'. In the Recovery Console prompt enter set AllowAllPaths true The second command allows you to copy files to removable media like floppy disks.

I understand it was a bad idea to try the reinstallation, but I had hoped it would work.Ĭurrently, it cannot startup and is stuck in a loop. The first allows access to all files and folders on the main system.
#Window xp recovery console commands install#
Enter the command D:\I386\WINNT32.EXE /cmdcons (Assumes D is the drive letter for the CDROM drive.) Click Yes to confirm that you want to install Recovery Console, and remove the CDROM from. Now I have an error everytime I try the 5 options due to the fact that Windows is now not fully installed. To install the Recovery Console on your hard drive, restart your computer with the Windows XP Setup disk in the CDROM drive.

Unfortunatley, when the computer restarts to finish the installation process, it goes back into the loop. There was barely any data on the computer(I backed up everything), so I had attempted to completely reinstall Windows with the F11 recovery option. Then, a black screen that comes up due to the restart comes up and gives me the options to try safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good config. I have been having a very serious problem with my computer (details below) in which the computer will startup as normal, but before it gets to the "Welcome" screen, a blue screen rapidly flickers and then goes back to the Gateway loading screen.
