Recovery Console in Win 2000 Server

[kcott]

When in recovery console (Win 2000 server) why would "Access Denied" come up when I try to delete a system file or any other. I am logged on to a single WINNT installation on a single HD/Partition with correct password. Other commands seem to work just fine. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Restrictions and Limitations of the Command Console
From the Recovery Console you can only use the following folders:

The root folder.


The %SystemRoot% folder and the subfolders of the Windows 2000 installation you are currently logged in to.


The Cmdcons folder.


Removable media drives such as CD-ROM drives.


NOTE: If you try to obtain access to other folders, you receive an "Access Denied" error message. Also, while in the Recovery Console you cannot copy a file from the local hard disk to a floppy disk. You can copy a file from a floppy disk or CD-ROM to a hard disk, and from one hard disk to another hard disk.
