The Recovery Console can be an indispensable diagnostic tool when your Windows XP, 2000, or Server 2003 based computer suffers from certain major problems.
A number of commands are available within Recovery Console, some of them exclusive to the tool. When used, these commands can do things as simple as copying a file from one place to another or as complicated as repairing the master boot record after a major virus attack.
See below for a complete list of Recovery Console commands:
The map command is used to display the partition and hard drive that each drive letter on the computer is currently assigned to.
The mkdir command is used to create a new folder.
The more command is used to display the information contained in a text file. The more command performs the same function as the type command.
Net use
The net use command is not available in Recovery Console, even though it is listed in the "Help" system as an available command. In other areas of Windows, the net use command is used to assign a drive letter to a shared network resource.The rename command is used to change the name of the individual file that you specify.
The rmdir command is used to delete an existing and completely empty folder.
The set command is used to enable or disable certain options in Recovery Console.
The systemroot command is used to set the %systemroot% environment variable as the current folder you are working in.
The type command is used to display the information contained in a text file. The type command performs the same function as the more command.
