2. File system checker (SFC): This is a great utility available in Windows Xp Professional. Whenever you want to check the installed files. Wondering if these files or folders work well? Or when there is a problem with the file for some reason caused. Then apply this utility. The work of the SFC is to review and replace the corrupt file, error ...

4. RECOVERY CONSOLE:
With this utility you can fix the system, format the disk, use or not use the services. You may be fancy with RECOVERY CONSOLE because it is easy to understand that it is not installed when you run SETUP of WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL.
In order to use RECOVERY CONSOLE you must be logged in as Administrator and be a power user. RECOVERY CONSOLE allows copying files from storage media to System Partition but doing otherwise is not possible.
Also, although you can move to LOGIC drives, you can not read files on any partitions except for the system partition. RECOVERY CONSOLE is very dangerous "one step to stop the return" so you have to clear it then do it. If there is a mistake, just reinstall it
As noted above, RECOVERY CONSOLE helps you fix, reformat your drive quickly. Since the article space is limited, I only want to include the main ideas about RECOVERY CONSOLE. Do you like to learn the following basic steps, of course you brood it is much
