The rcovery folder found in the drive root used when selecting F8 from the boot options screen "repair my computer".This is the command that enables it: "Bcdedit.exe /set recoveryenabled on"This is the command to add the folder's identifier. "bcdedit /set recoverysequence {308f3b84-be1b-11de-a92c-89b79fffd0f4}" The folder structure is %systemdrive%\Recovery\308f3b84-be1b-11de-a92c-89b79fffd0f4\What I need to know is if the folder is ever lost how can I replace it and what identifier would I use?

Hello Mr. Seven,You may want to look at this page as well.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799242(WS.10).aspxAlso from the command line: Reagentc /?REAGENTC.EXE [options] where the following operations can be specified: /setreimage /path <dir_name> [/target <dir_name>] [/bootkey <scan_code>] Sets the location of the user-provided Windows RE image. The optional /target switch specifies the path to the location that contains the Windows installation. The optional /bootkey switch specifies the scan code for an OEM-specific launch button. /setosimage [/path <dir_name> [/target <dir_name>]] [/customtool] /path sets the location of the user-provided OS Setup files. Alternatively /customtool specifies that a an imaging tool was specified inside Windows RE. /info [/target <dir_name>] Displays Windows RE configuration information.

Thanks Darrel,REAGENTC.EXE from what I gather is the tool for creating Recovery Environment to the hard drive making it more conveniant than digging around for the DVD. Recovery Environment is the equivilant/replacment for recovery console (cmdcons)that I can install to the hard drive on XP using a setup parameter and I simplified it like this so it installs with one click,if exist %systemroot%\system32\slui.exe goto end ATTRIB -R -H -S %systemdrive%\boot.ini echo %systemdrive%\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons >> %systemdrive%\boot.ini ATTRIB +R +H +S %systemdrive%\boot.inixcopy /i /y /e /c /h cmdcons %systemdrive%\cmdconsreg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole" /v "SetCommand" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000001 /Freg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole" /v "SecurityLevel" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000000 /Fexit:endexitso give me some time to study REAGENT and hopefullyI will come up with a way to add the recovery Environment to my boot choice.
