... to try this?

BURNING the RECOVERY CONSOLE ISO to an 80mm MiniCD or standard CDR and see if it works when booting directly to it.

AND/OR...

Copying the files from the CD to a folder NAMED C:\cmdcons (Normally a hidden system file when the Recovery Console is installed in the normal fashion.)

Adding the line...

C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

... to the boot.ini file to see if the Recovery Console does appear as an option on your boot screen?

(For those who don't have an XP CD and who don't have the Recovery Console as a boot option.)

Does this do the same thing?

Hello CC,

It might do. The unzipped file is smaller than the 7.7 MB file on the other link and recent Recovery Consoles may have more tools in them than older ones.

Do you already know if it works?
