Hi Dorris,

BTW Sorry for not getting back to your kind offer in a private mail a few
months back.  I can't remember what it was for but I do feel guilty as
didn't' mean to ignore you!

OK The recovery Console IMHO is out for speech support.  There's bound to be
away of accessing it without sight if only by remember keystokres.

I'd google to see what blind sys admins are doing with it.  It's not an area
I've ever used.  Machines I admin I normally have images for and if they
wont' boot I take the drive out, wack it ina  caddy and re-image.

If it's a customers hard drive I perform data recovery, including taking
stock of apps, settings, personal files, inc email etc.  Copy that to
another location I then automate a Windows install with their licenced disc.
Set back up and image.

Imaging is possibly one of the most useful ways for a blind person to get
their machine back to a useable state.

A blind tech that is as normal people don't enjoy, or evne want to know
about this stuff.  Which is all good cause otherwise I'd have to start
thinking about a different line of work than Infastructure.

Barry.

I saved this in my resource archive.

However, the recovery console is a console that loads before windows 
logon and with no sound drivers in place when called up.

How do you get speech in this environment? is there any dos 
screenrader that will read the widnows console at this point?

Is there a scripted way to automate this process?

i think there are third party tools that can be run from within 
windows gui to fix mbr problems but i do not recall details at the moment.

Thanks much.

Doris
