When the Recovery Console starts, you can press F6 to install a third-party
driver, in case you need such a driver to access the hard disk. This prompt
works the same as it does during installation of the operating system.

I didn't comment on GoBack because I've never used it.

| I have twin 40GB HD's, nonRAID, with Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller.
The first drive is master and the second slave, and I boot from the first
partition of the first drive.  All drivers are listed as working properly in
Device Manager.

| On my original W2K installation, when I installed the recovery  console,
it loaded properly when selected from the boot menu screen (second choice
under Windows 2000 Professional), the program title appeared, a progress
indicator
| (". . . . . . ?") running from left to right, and then the console opened
and asked for the admin password.  It worked fine with GoBack installed.
After an irreversible system crash, I did a clean install after removing
GoBack from the MBR and reformatting the hard drive.  I then reinstalled all
of my programs including GoBack.  Now, after appearing to install correctly,
the recovery console behaves just as above when selected from the boot menu,
but after the progress indicator continues for a while, the
"IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" blue screen STOP message appears.  I can reboot into
Windows without any problem.

| I don't understand your comments about preventing the drive controller
from recognizing the drive, as this procedure was never necessary the first
time I successfully used the recovery console.  As above, all drivers are
Microsoft certified and Device Manager tells me they are working well.  Are
the drivers you're talking about providing used to install the console from
the CD, to run it from the installation CD, or to access it from the boot
screen?  Once again, this was never necessary before.
|
| WOULD YOU PLEASE address the issue of GoBack's effects on the MBR.  I
found several references on the Symantec website about problems installing
Windows itself without first uninstalling GoBack, which they attribute to
its entries on the MBR.  In addition, they mention that drive imaging
software such as Ghost and DriveImage will not function correctly with
GoBack enabled, and in some instances even installed, because they are
prevented from accurately reading the drives and partitions.

| I'm really confused now, please help.
