Before you start over, Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional and Microsoft Windows XP include some tools worth
investigating. In Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, the Recovery
Console and Safe Boot Mode can save several hours of agony. In
Microsoft Windows XP, the Automated System Recovery (ASR) Wizard and
Safe Boot Mode can achieve approximately the same results.
Time-Saving System Recovery Tools in Microsoft Windows 2000 and
Microsoft Windows XP
By dramatically reducing the time required to
fix many operating system problems, the Recovery Console allows you
to check and repair your hard drive’s boot sector and master boot
record. The Recovery Console also helps you repair problems related
to operating system services and devices. The Safe Boot Mode is very
similar to the Safe Mode that’s been around for years in the
consumer Microsoft Windows 9x product line. With a Safe Boot Mode
startup sequence, you can launch Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
with a minimal device driver and service configuration.
Both the Recovery
Console and the Safe Boot Mode give you a much better chance
of fixing a damaged configuration, without having to resort
to a productivity hampering and expensive operating system rebuild.
The Automated System Recovery Wizard, new to Microsoft Windows XP,
goes a step further and actually monitors and logs system changes,
to allow for automated rollback.
