Hi Daniel, You helped me so efficiently, I'm back to ask you where I might
find "Recovery Console".
I've been given instructions to correct my boot files ... change my NTLDR
and others in Recovery Console but no instructions as to where to find it.
Can u help please? I've been in Help searching but obviously not in the
right place. There's instructions what to do in it, but nothing on where to
find it. LOL I just know this is going to expose my limited intelligence
but ... it won't be the first time. Thx ...

You should expand those files into %SystemRoot%\System32 directory by using the Expand command (read XP Help and Support to get more information).
