recovery console...
Is it possible to install the recovery console on windows xp media center edition 2005? I've discovered a trojan that has proved to be a menace that I cannot seem to removed, while windows is running and I don't have a bootable cd to go to command prompt. and i cannot boot to safe mode (big ugly blue screen). Any ideas?

I removed the drive from the computer, hooked it to an external usb connector and have been running anti-virus/anti-spyware program on it.
we've entered the 5th hour. appears to be doing the job. only time will tell as to whether its effective or not.
what I did find was what I suspected.
the following files have been identified as problems and removed/quarantined:
- hldrrr.exe - in C:\windows\system32\drivers
- srosa.sys - in c:\windows\system32\drivers
- Wintems.exe in c:\windows\system32
- mdelk.exe - in C:\windows
- and literally thousands of numbered .exe files in C:\windows\system32\drivers\down (a hidden folder).
also found a couple of mangled registry keys related (as in mule_st_key).I'll download the hijackthis and do the rest as soon as the scan completes and I can put the drive back in the computer.
