adding xp recovery console to boot menu

after googling, i got a cool knowledge today from here, which is creating a xp recovery usb boot disk.

then i tought of adding a boot menu option of recovery console so when i have a problem i could use it,such as chkdsk if i cannot logged in ,but not the NT bootloader, cos it cant even reach the boot menu ;)).

ok, here how it goes :
download the modified zipfile here.
Before starting, pls extract the zip file to your easy to find folder
because you will have to run mkbt.exe tool in command prompt to create a bootsector file.

1. Copy all the files from the folder "Copy the files inside to your C drive"
to your Windows XP boot drive (in this case i use c:\)

2. Run Command Prompt (cmd),go to extraction folder and type :

mkbt.exe -x -c C: C:\rcboot.bin

3. run the hexeditor (double click HexEdit.exe).
open file rcboot.bin that you have created and do a find replace string

find string 4E0054 (use ctrl+F)
replace with 43004D

then save the file.

4. Open boot.ini file in your C drive and add the following line :

c:\rcboot.bin="Microsoft Windows XP Recovery Console" /cmdcons

hope thats work,it works for me .. gud luck !!
