Recovery option #3: Recovery Console (RC) Boot
The Recovery Console (RC) can be used when safe boot fails. You can enter RC:
• either by booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM
• or by installing the RC boot on your system.
It is recommended to install the RC immediately after installing Windows 2000.

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 F10 at the Welcome to Setup screen.
