"Access is denied" for most thing in recovery console

I want to be able to rename certain directories like \Documents and
Settings and \Program Files. It's my way of doing a clean install w/out
losing important things. Unforunately, the recovery console doesn't let
you do that. I tried using the SET option, then I was told that I have
to enable it with the "Security Configuration and analysis snap-in".
Well, I started the mmc and there isn't one available to me. Probably
because I have the Home Edition Service Pack 1. (I don't trust 2).
So how do I just rename these directories? If there's another way to
enable those SET commands in the recovery console, that'd be good too.
