Re: Cannot access recovery console

We were having problems with an MSSQL DB on that server. For some
reason, stop/start of the SQL service appeared to fix the problem (i.e.
SQL ANAYLZER no longer show errors). About 90 min. later, the server
crashed. Then we kept receiving the aformentioned error (stop
C000218...).

We called HP for some ideas. HP had us run a diag stating the physical
drive which C resides is fine. At that point, we ruled out hardware as
a problem, and they don't support OS problems (as expected). Still, we
cannot access the Recovery Console. I did find a tool to read NTFS
volumes, and it did find both the logical C and D drives, as expected:

NTFS Reader Bootable Floppy

I did a google for a "Recovery Console CD", w/o the use of BartPE. I
found this:

I'm currently trying the last suggestion with that thread. I'm thinking
if there's just some way I can get the system to run CHKDSK in DOS
mode, it might fix the problems on the C drive. Any other suggestions?
