Are you trying to install the Automated Recovery Console or are you trying to fix problem problems with the XP installation?

Recovery basically allows you to recover from a severe problem that prevents you from running Windows.

If you need to fix problems with your XP installation then you need to select the Repair option when you boot to the XP CD. If Repair doesn't fix the problem then you should just reformat and do a clean install.
 
Exactly what jw50 said.

The Recovery Console is different than the repair option.
You won't see the repair option until after you start what
looks like a reinstall of XP.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
