When i boot from the windows xp installation cd and run the recovery console i can only access "c:\windows". I typed in the administrator password and it accepted it. My c drive is formatted in NTFS. How can i access all the files in the hard drive?

see
ie, in particular:
"Recovery Console Rules
Several environment rules are in effect while you are working in the Recovery Console. Type set to see the current environment. By default, these are the rules:
AllowAllPaths = FALSE, which prevents access to directories and subdirectories outside the system installation that you selected when you entered the Recovery Console.
AllowRemovableMedia = FALSE, which prevents access to removable media as a target for copied files.
AllowWildCards = FALSE, which prevents wildcard support for commands such as copy and del.
NoCopyPrompt = FALSE, which means that you are prompted by the Recovery Console for confirmation when overwriting an existing file."

plus... these settings can be done via group policy:
goto
Local Computer Policy
Computer Configuration
Windows settings
Security settings
(nearly there now...)
Local policies
security options.
You'll find options for recovery console here...
