ERD Commander 2002
Winternals Software LP Page 10
4 Functional Overview
Once ERD Commander 2002 boots, a stripped-down version of Windows XP
will start and run the ERD Commander 2002 windowing environment. It’s
important to keep in mind that, although this graphical environment looks like
Windows and even has similar utilities, it is not Windows code and therefore
behaves slightly differently.
Also, your end-user license agreement prohibits use of ERD Commander
2002 as a general-purpose operating system, and the environment is
designed to reboot automatically upon 24 hours of continuous usage.
Note: it is important that you do not remove the ERD Commander 2002 CD-
ROM from the system while ERD Commander 2002 is running. Doing so
could result in a lock-up of ERD Commander 2002, requiring a reboot.
The ERD Commander 2002 environment provides a number of powerful
utilities that help you identify and repair problems that are preventing a
system from booting. These include:
♦ Logon
♦ Windowing Shell
♦ System Information
♦ File Explorer
♦ File Search
♦ Command Prompt
♦ Chkdsk
♦ Notepad
♦ Registry Editor
♦ Service and Driver Manager
♦ Event Log Viewer
