Here is what you do to use the Repair option or Recovery Console on the Dell OEM Media:
1. Remove the following lines from the default WINNT.SIF file in the Dell Recovery media (blue and white label titled Windows Server 2003 Reinstallation CD). The "UnattendedInstall=Yes" line in the "Data" section does not have to be deleted. Both lines below must be removed!
[Unattended]
Unattendmode = "defaulthide"
2. Save the updated WINNT.SIF file to a floppy disk
3. Put the floppy disk in the floppy drive and boot the system off the Dell Recovery media. NTLoader will load the WINNT.SIF from the floppy and use that instead of the one in the Dell Recovery CD. Then you will have the option for the Recovery Console, etc.
