There is a Safe-Mode boot loophole. Since NTLDR loads “Boot Load” drivers, these
drivers bypass the IO Manager's Safe Mode check.
Recovery option #3: Recovery Console (RC) Boot
The Recovery Console (RC) can be used when safe boot fails. You can enter RC
using one of the following:
•
•
Booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM
Installing the RC boot on the system
It is recommended to install the RC immediately after installing Windows 2000.
Start RC Booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM
If you have a need of booting the Windows 2000 recovery console but this feature is
not installed on the system, use the following procedure to boot the RC from the
Windows 2000 CD-ROM.
1. Insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM and start the reboot sequence.
2. Press any key when prompted to start booting from the Windows 2000 CD-
ROM.
3. Press the F10 key on the Welcome to Setup screen.
NOTE: This is an undocumented option. The bottom of the display is asking you to press the
Enter, R, or F3 key.
4. The system will display a menu asking to select the instance of the NOS you
want to boot. For example:
1: C:\WINNT
5. Type 1 and then press the Enter key.
6. Type the Administrator password when prompted.
7. At the command prompt, type
help and proceed to achieve your objective.
8. Type
exit when done troubleshooting.
