Reload software

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I don't know what you mean by preboot software.
A line is added to the boot.ini file for the option of booting the Recovery
partition.

One problem to overcome using the Recovery partition is that a format can
not format the whole disk or put another way, the recovery partition must
not be for formatted during a recovery.
