Topic: [SOLVED] Cannot access Recovery Console

Hello!

I recently slipstreamed the DriverPack MassStorage plus DriverPack MassStorage Text Mode in order to install WinXP on a new SATA2 laptop.
My HDD was detected successful, however there is still a small problem: after all the drivers are loaded there is a stage where is "Starting Windows XP..."; at that point it jumps directly to "Install Windows XP", where you create partitions and you choose where you want to install.

Ok, so what can i do in order to avoid this "jump" and get the screen where i have to press Enter in order to install, "R" for recovery console and F3 to quit?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot access Recovery Console

As for Recovery Console: Press F10 at F6 message

Recovery Console is lauched.
There maybe a [Unattended] section at winnt.sif.

F10 does not include XP 'Install' - 'Repair'.
