Recovery Console

my XP cd kinda scratchy, RC not bringing HDD back to life.

Is there a way to push RC onto a HDD as a slave drive in a good PC?

thanx

No. Perhaps if you tell us what "not bringing HDD back to life" means, we
could help you further. If your hard drive has physically died, the
Recovery Console won't do you any good anyway.

You can also borrow an XP install disk from a friend and boot into Recovery
Console with it.

HDD examined in good pc. did chkdsk /f. only 1 user file repaired.
huge number of infections removed. then back to orig pc; no boot. RC
stopped at c: prompt. didn't ask me 'which windows' to repair.

so, i reran and went to Install. found that partition was corrupt,
although I could read disk all over int he good PC.

so I did clean format and install.

back running, but more time than i guesstimated at first.

thanx anyway
