I have a Windows XP Pro system that became hosed during a failed attempt to
apply SP2 and now is in a "Incomplete install.... rebooting" loop. Before
attempting to recover, I would like to boot into a command prompt...
hopefully from a bootable CD... and back up any critical files before
messing around. (Security files, registry, etc.).
Does anyone know of a utility for accomplsing this?
