Windows was first planned to replace both Windows 98 and Windows NT 4. If the listed serials below do not work for a specific release, please see the Serials thread. The final RTM build of Windows is 5. Dynamic disks were introduced as well which allowed Windows to join disks together in a software RAID array. Plug-and-play support was improved compared to Windows NT 4. Windows File Protection also arrived with which protected critical system files by not allowing anything other than Microsoft's Windows Installer or Windows Update package installer modify system files.
The System File Checker utility allowed users to preform a manual scan of protected system files and optionally repair them. For system management Windows introduced the Microsoft Management Console and a vast majority of system administration tools from Windows NT 4. NET Framework. Two versions of the registry editor exist in Windows This is a straight port and is incapable of editing a remote registry or changing permissions.
This was later updated in Windows XP. Use this procedure when your system fails to boot successfully to the point where you can log on. The ERD can only be used to repair system files, the partition boot sector, and the startup environment for multiboot systems. To repair the registry, use the Recovery Console instead see Recovery Console in this chapter.
Sorry about the misunderstanding. After re-reading your post, I think I get what you're saying now. ERD's are specific to the computer that created them, as they contain registry information for that particular computer. You could possibly get away with using an ERD from similar hardware and a fresh Windows install, but I'd only do that as a last resort.
You could try a repair installation without the ERD. It has on it a fully functional DOS operating system. This kind of access to files without NT loaded is one of the basis for various methods to recover lost admin passwords. For Windows NT it was the primary tool. The ERD does not boot the machine. Instead, it contains files that contain settings and configuration information that can be used to return the operating system back to its condition when the ERD was created.
The Recovery Console is a console program that can be launched after the Startup Setup version of the Windows operating system is booted. It is a console program that can be used to discover and fix system issues. Under the Recovery Console, you have access to the following commands:.
If the ERD process does not resolve your problem, you can use the Recovery Console, but which is definitely only for experienced administrators. You need to install the Recovery Console before you have problems. After its installed, you will have another boot option. If you haven't been proactive or the system doesn't boot even to this point, you can get to the Recovery Console by booting with the Windows Setup floppy disks or to the Windows CD.
The Recovery Console will require you to enter the password for the local administrator's account if used on W2K Professional or a member server. If run against a domain controller, you will be required to enter the password for the administrator password that was entered during dcpromo, the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator password.
This password is only used under conditions when the active directory can not be accessed, Directory Services Restore mode or Recovery Console. It is stored in a mini-SAM used for this special purpose. One of the most powerful features of the Recovery Console in Windows is the utilities fixboot and fixmbr.
