Installed SP2 and Windows XP Recovery Console is gone

[Manny]

I installed SP2 and the recovery console is gone. I tried
to re-install it from the XP CD, but XP SP2 said the
version was back level. Where can I get a copy of the SP2
version of the recovery console?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi

I had to install the Recovery Console from a slipstreamed SP2 CD. Earlier
versions of the XP CDs won't install the Recovery Console. For a
slipstreamed SP2 CD you will have to download the 266 Mb file:

and then follow the directions from one of the two following articles:
