What happened to the Recovery Console?

The Recovery Console in earlier versions of Windows has been removed in this version of Windows and replaced by several tools located in the System Recovery Options menu. The System Recovery Options menu is on the Windows Vista installation disc. If your computer manufacturer has preinstalled recovery options, the menu might also be installed on your hard disk. If your computer does not include the System Recovery Options menu, your computer manufacturer might have customized or replaced the tool. Check the information that came with your computer or go to the manufacturer’s website. If Windows doesn’t start correctly, you can use these tools to repair startup problems, restore your system files to an earlier point in time, run tests on your computer’s random access memory, and in some editions of Windows Vista, restore your entire computer and system files from backups.
