Vista - Recovery console in Vista?

Is there a recovery console in Vista? If so, How do you install it? Is the
Starup the sane thing? Can it be installed other than uses it from the disk?
Thanks

What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

Thank you for the prompt response.
Among the many pages I read, is the one you advice, Yet..
"The System Recovery Options menu is on the Windows installation disc. The
menu might also be installed on your hard disk if your computer has
preinstalled recovery options."
No where it tell me how to install it, as in the all one X:\i386\winnt32.exe
/cmdcons.
I have clean installed Vista on new hard disk, rather than over XP, which
hard disk had preinstalled portions on a reserved partition, that I do not
have now. At any rate, the Console directory was always in the main
partition.
Hopefully you have further advice.
Cheers

'Repair your Computer link' when you boot the Vista DVD. This takes
you to some useful tools.
I think the idea was that if you can boot from the HD or into Safe
Mode you can fix things from there.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

Hi Dr Rolando E Creagh,

The Recovery Console is only available from a Express or retail Vista installation DVD. This will show you how to get to and use it.

Startup Repair


If you only have a OEM Vista Recovery DVD or Recovery Partition on your hard drive, then it may not be available to you. However, this will show you how to create a Recovery DVD of your own anyway to use to help repair Vista with.

Hope this helps,

From a retail Ultimate Vista DVD, which is the procedure to install such
console?
Thanks

Rolando,

It's not something that can be installed in Vista, but a tool used to repair the Vista installation instead. A retail Vista installation DVD will already include these recovery options when you boot from it. If you follow the instructions in the link in the tutorial's example, it will show you how to do each individual recovery option.

Create a Recovery Disc


There is also the Advanced Boot Options that you can use when you boot. You can see the details on this here.

Advanced Boot Options


Is there anything particular that you are needing or wanting to do? We may be able to give you more precise instructions on how to achieve it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hello Rolando,

The procedure to install WinRE (the recovery console) is not
straightforward, and is usually done by the OEM/System Builder. It requires
the WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit), and a technician computer on
which to build the necessary images that will then be installed onto the end
user pc.

See here for a guide:

Thanks for the splendid information.
Should have known this before I clean installed.
I will study it carefully.
Many thanks and cheers
