Hello:

I am new to the 64-bit verison of Windows 2003 Enterprise. I tried to
install the recovery console but does not what to. Are there special steps
to do this?

Hello,
It would be good to get the expected behavior and the error message.
It's a little unclear what is failing and how it's failing
There are two 64-bit platforms.
Itaniun (IA64) and X64
Itanium does not support installing the Recovery Console, to use it you
would have to boot from the CD\DVD.
For X64 machines, from inside Windows you run Winnt32 /cmdcons to install
Recovery Console
What happens when that is run?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Shouldn't that be: D:\amd64\winnt32.exe /cmdcons

The amd64 bit is confusing but I guess that's historic.
