Re: Enable SET command in Recovery Console

Thanks Steve - Unfortunately I don't have the original XP disk...only the
Sony Restore to factory OEM stuff.......ought to be a law against it!!

The Knoppix set-up went really well got to my C: drive (3OGB) and rescued my
Documents and Settings stuff (Outlook PST's) to a USB device - very nice GUI
all loaded into RAM from CD without "touching" the hard drive.......but I
still can't see the 2nd partition D: drive (160 GB) where all my User data
files are stored.

Knoppix is supposed to recognise NTFS/FAT partitions as separate drive icons
when it starts up...I have no reason to believe it's a Knoppix problem....I
also noted I couldn't see the D: drive from the Recovery Console either (even
though I would've been unable to access it anyway)...soooo I think my crash
problems may also be related to a corruption of the file partition records....

As I recall last time I rebuilt the system I had the option to reformat and
restore only the C: partition and re-install the OS......hopefully if I have
to go down this route whaddya reckon the chances are of discovering an
undisturbed D: drive data on the other side of the process are
eh??......mmmmmm

OK. Good luck. Another great item to have in your arsenal is to create your
own bootable from cdrom/DVD version of XP using your install disk. BART'S PE
allows you to do this. A nice feature of using it is that you can edit most
of the registry on a dead operating system and also backup data to
cdrom/DVD. The link to it is below.

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
