Windows XP SP2 and the recovery Console

[Zeev Schor]

I have just installed Windows XP SP2 and would like to install the Recovery
Console as a startup option. How can I do it?
The method advised in the Help Section (D:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons) does
not work with the XP2 CD.
When I try to install the Console using the original Windows XP CD, I was
informed that "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your
computer is newer than the version on the CD."
Any help will be appreciated.

The repair console can be installed from a "slip streamed" copy of Windows
XP with SP2 Integrated into it!

Use the Setup disks from here:

Be sure to get the SP-2 version.
