Help with recovery console
|
|
|
| I’m getting really confused when I have to choose between: the recovery console, safe mode, using an ERD or Last Known Good Configuration. I though I had figured out when not to use Last Know good configuration, but I’ve gotten a couple of questions from transender that says to use L.K.G.C even when the computer freezes after log in. I would think that if the user logged on all the configuration information would be set in the computer so if you tried to use Last Know Good Configuration you would get a bad configuration. Anyway if anybody has any hard fast rules that would help me figure out when to use one of the above-mentioned choices I would much appreciate it. Those recovery types of questions are killing me on practice tests. The questions seem to say the same thing but the answers are different. Please help!!!
Thanks | |

| I came across an article that made me think of your question. At the bottom of the page is a link to the whole article...
Hope it helps!
Safe Mode is a great tool to turn to if you load an application or add a device and the system hangs when you try to reboot. Safe Mode loads only the drivers you need to boot the OS so that you can load a new driver or uninstall the offending application or service to fix the problem. Like Windows NT 4.0, Win2K gives you the Last Known Good Configuration option, so you can boot to Safe Mode and address the problem without losing configuration changes that have occurred since the last successful system start. The RC is useful when the system doesn't boot successfully using Safe Mode and Last Known Good Configuration—a situation that might arise if critical system files are deleted or become corrupted.
The RC gives you command-line access to the root folder, the %systemroot% folder, and removable media drives such as the disk drive and the CD-ROM drive. With the RC, you can use a limited set of commands to perform functions such as copying files from a CD-ROM to the hard disk, enabling or disabling services, and repairing the Master Boot Record (MBR).
