The Windows 2000 Recovery Console

x :\I386\Winnt32.Exe /cmdcons
The Recovery Console supports the following standard Windows 2000 commands: attrib, batch, cd, chkdsk, cls, copy, delete, dir, expand, format, help, mkdir, rename, rmdir, and type.

In addition, the following Recovery Console-specific commands are available:
- enable service-or-driver[start-type]
Enable/start the specified service or device driver; start-type sets the startup attribute for the service/driver, either SERVICE_BOOT_START (start driver at system boot), SERVICE_SYSTEM_START (start driver during power-up boot), SERVICE_AUTO_START (start service at system boot), SERVICE_DEMAND_START (manual service startup), or SERVICE_DISABLED (service is disabled).
- disable service-or-driver
Disable system service or device driver.

- exit
