I'm trying to repair my XP install using the recovery console on a disc but have hit a brick wall.

Once I select repair I'm brought into a DOS screen and asked which install I want to repair (I only have the one so I just need to type 1 here).

Once I do that I'm asked for the admin password - I enter that and then all I get is "c:\windows>".

I'm not sure what command I need to enter to start the actual repair - I can't see anything obvious in the list that comes up when I type 'HELP'.

Does anyone have a link to a walkthrough for this kind of situation? Last time I repaired it I don't remember having to jump through all of these hoops.
