What would be the next logical step in the repair process if a Windows XP computer fails to start in Safe Mode with Command Prompt Mode?
1. Safe Mode with Networking
2. Enable VGA Mode
3. Last Known Good Configuration
4. >>Recovery Console
Explanation : If booting a system using Safe Mode with Command Prompt fails, you should use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console does not start the graphical interface, but it does allow you to access any FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file systems. The purpose of the Recovery Console is to allow you to repair a damaged registry, system files, or file system on the hard drive.
Safe Mode boots the operating system with a minimum configuration and can be used to solve problems with a new hardware or software installation, or problems caused by user settings. Safe Mode boots with the mouse, basic video, keyboard, and mass storage drivers loaded. It uses the default system services (not any extra services) and does not provide network access. It does provide a graphical interface. With the graphical interface enabled, you can use the normal Windows tools and utilities to correct the problem.
Safe Mode with Command Prompt is the same as Safe Mode but does not load the graphical interface. Many standard Windows tools and utilities do not run without the graphical interface.
Safe Mode with Networking is the same as Safe Mode, but the drivers necessary to access the network are loaded. This is useful if you need to access the network to download replacement drivers.
Windows NT, 2000, and XP all keep a copy of the Last Known Good Configuration in the registry. If something is configured incorrectly, you can restore the settings used for the last successful boot using the Last Known Good option. Any settings changes made since the last successful boot will be lost.
