<p>The <b>Recovery Console</b> is a feature of the <a href="Windows_2000" title="Windows 2000">Windows 2000</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-Windows_2000_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Windows_2000-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Windows_XP" title="Windows XP">Windows XP</a><sup id="cite_ref-Windows_XP_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Windows_XP-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Windows_Server_2003" title="Windows Server 2003">Windows Server 2003</a> operating systems. It provides the means for administrators to perform a limited range of tasks using a <a href="Command-line_interface" title="Command-line interface">command-line interface</a>.

</p><p>Its primary function is to enable administrators to recover from situations where Windows does not <a href="Booting" title="Booting">boot</a> as far as presenting its <a href="Graphical_user_interface" title="Graphical user interface">graphical user interface</a>. The recovery console is used to provide a way to access the hard drive in an emergency through the command prompt. The Recovery Console can be started from <a href="Windows_Setup" title="Windows Setup">Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 Setup</a> CD.

</p><p>The Recovery Console can be accessed in two ways, either through the original installation media used to install Windows, or by installing it onto the hard drive and adding it to the <a href="NTLDR" title="NTLDR">NTLDR</a> menu. However, the latter option is much more risky than the former one because it requires that the computer can boot to the point that NTLDR loads, or else the Recovery Console will not work at all.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Abilities">Abilities</h2></div>

<p>The Recovery Console has a simple <a href="Command-line_interpreter" class="mw-redirect" title="Command-line interpreter">command-line interpreter</a> (or CLI). Many of the available <a href="Command_(computing)" title="Command (computing)">commands</a> closely resemble the commands that are normally available in <code><a href="Cmd.exe" title="Cmd.exe">cmd.exe</a></code>, namely <code><a href="Attrib" class="mw-redirect" title="Attrib">attrib</a></code>, <code><a href="Copy_(command)" title="Copy (command)">copy</a></code>, <code><a href="Del_(command)" title="Del (command)">del</a></code>, and so forth.

</p><p>From the Recovery Console an administrator can:

</p>

<ul><li>create and remove directories, and copy, erase, display, and <a href="Ren_(command)" title="Ren (command)">rename</a> files</li>

<li>enable and disable services (which modifies the service control database in the registry, to take effect when the system is next bootstrapped)</li>

<li>repair boot file, using the <code><a href="Bootcfg" title="Bootcfg">bootcfg</a></code> command</li>

<li>write a new <a href="Master_boot_record" title="Master boot record">master boot record</a> to a disk, using the <code>fixmbr</code> command</li>

<li>write a new <a href="Volume_boot_record" title="Volume boot record">volume boot record</a> to a volume, using the <code>fixboot</code> command</li>

<li>format volumes</li>

<li>expand files from the compressed format in which they are stored on the installation <a href="CD-ROM" title="CD-ROM">CD-ROM</a></li>

<li>perform a full <code><a href="Chkdsk" class="mw-redirect" title="Chkdsk">chkdsk</a></code> scan to repair corrupted disks and files, especially if the computer cannot be started properly</li></ul>

<p>Filesystem access on the Recovery Console is by default severely limited. An administrator using the Recovery Console has only read-only access to all volumes except for the <a href="System_partition_and_boot_partition" title="System partition and boot partition">boot volume</a>, and even on the boot volume only access to the root directory and to the Windows system directory (e.g. \WINNT). This can be changed by changing Security Policies to enable read/write access to the complete file system including copying files from removable media (i.e. floppy drives).
