adding xp recovery console to boot menu option

I thought of adding a boot menu option of recovery console so when i
have a problem i could use it,such as chkdsk if i cannot logged in
,but not the NT bootloader, cos it cant even reach the boot menu ;)).

ok, here how it goes :
download the modified zipfile here
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lzjyizzntfn
Before starting, pls extract the zip file to your easy to find folder
because you will have to run mkbt.exe tool in command prompt to create
a bootsector file.

1. Copy all the files from the folder "Copy the files inside to your C drive"
to your Windows XP boot drive (in this case i use c:\)

2. Run Command Prompt (cmd),go to extraction folder and type :
mkbt.exe -x -c C: C:\rcboot.bin

3. run the hexeditor (double click HexEdit.exe).
open file rcboot.bin that you have created and do a find replace string

find string 4E0054 (use ctrl+F)
replace with 43004D

then save the file.

4. Open boot.ini file in your C drive and add the following line :

c:\rcboot.bin="Microsoft Windows XP Recovery Console" /cmdcons


hope thats work,it works for me .. gud luck !!
