Re: Enable SET command in Recovery Console



Thanks Steve,
I've tried most combinations of "Safe" and "last known settings" etc. all to
no avail. I think my problems really all relate to trying to un-install
Norton Goback.
This is the second time I've had trouble with it...I tried not to install it
in the first place when I needed use Norton Systemworks.....but it snuck in
.....I shan't be a Norton Customer in future....I can't even use the Norton
recovery disk until I uninstall Go Back successfully.......and it wont remove
the history properly without re-booting half way through...too many egss and
chickens in all this stuff (like the RC default policy setting requiring you
to forsee the crash - OK NOW I know that's should have been predictable!).

I will check out your link from home tonight (my Work firewall prevents
access to "Hacking" type websites. I have also started down the Knoppix Boot
CD route that Karl suggested...I have to say that so far this looks like a
very clean option, and may lead to me eventually becoming a Linux user.....or
at least a Dual Booter

Thanks a lot for your input.

Try using F8 when starting the operating system to access the alternate
start menu and select the option for "last known good configuration to see
if that helps". If that does not try booting into Safe Mode. I noticed that
one of the capabilities of a popular password reset disk is that it can also
change the settings for Recovery Console including the setting you want to
change. The tool is available at the link below and you can create either a
bootable floppy or cdrom.

My XP Home system won't boot (continuously re-boots after failing to find
CHKDSK)-but I need to rescue data by being able to to change directories
and
copying data from hard disk (though I can only see the first partion C:)
to
my USB drive within Recovery Console - Soooo...... I need to enable the
SETAllowAllPaths=true command......but how can I use the Windows security
tools:

. The Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in in Microsoft Management
Console (MMC)
. The Domain Controller Security Policy in Administrative Tools.
. The Domain Security Policy in Administrative Tools.
. The Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools.

If I can't boot into Windows anymore - I didn't know my system was going
to
crash so hadn't set the policy beforehand......what's the point of
Recovery
Console If I can't get to my data to rescue it????

Help would really be appreciated
