I have XP Pro OEM, fully updated, including SP3. Unfortunately the
Recovery Console was not installed on the machine by the manufacturer.
If I try to install the RC from c:\i386, I get the famous "error reading
information from netmap.inf" error.

My first question: in case of an emergency, can I use the old RC.iso which
is available from several sites?

My second, related question: must the Recovery Console be 'SP3-updated',
or is it independent of the actual version of XP running on the machine?
If it is dependent, how can I update the RC CD to SP3?

Thank you for your help.
