i installed windows recovery console using a run prompt i found on the hp help site but now i want to get rid of it and cant find the uninstall prompt that was with the 1 i used to install it. can anybody tell me how i can uninstall it please?

Welcome blainey, to the PC Help Forums.

Have you already checked in the normal place to uninstall programs?

Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove ??

yeah ive looked there. its whenever i switch my pc on it gives me the option of windows xp or windows recovery console.

Ah, I understand .

Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
Advanced
Select Settings under Startup and Recovery
Then select Edit

It should give you some random things, such as

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windo ws XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windo ws Recovery Console" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer


you want to remove the whole line that says recovery console out.
(I just copied and pasted mine, and i dont have recovery console there, so it may be a tiny bit different).

thats sort of worked. its got rid of the recovery console bit but its still making me choose between 2 things its windows auto now that is the other option

If you go back to that same place, you can change the amount of time it stays there for. Change timeout to 0.
