Not getting a command prompt when running Recovery Console??
Yesterday i got a dreaded blue screen when installing a game and so restarted my computer. as my system was booting up it said that one of the hard drives in the array had an error - the system went to the windows loading bit and then i got another blue screen telling me that i have an "Unmountable Boot Volume". i tried restarting the computer again and this time it said there was an error with both my drives. this is the first problem i've had with my computer which i've had for most of the year (Dell dimension 8400, 2 x 250 GB). After looking for a solution, i see that the way to try and remedy this is to run the recovery console and then chkdsk /r. the only problem is that i'm getting to the black screen that tells me telling me i've got to the recovey console and to type exit to quit and restart the computer, but i'm not getting a command prompt. anyone have any ideas about what i'm doing wrong or how i can resolve this as i don't really want to have to reformat my computer.
