First I want to thank Seanferd for his direction and help.
Directly after install the full SP3 package, ( man what was I thinking?), I lost the ability to use the recovery console. When I try the computer reboots, no console. So I tried using the safe mode because I vaguely remembered reading somewhere that they were somehow connected. How is the question of the day. Why I would lose the functions of both is another. Of course the million dollar question is how to get them back. I have always used the recovery console at boot up just in case. It makes me feel a bit more secure when Windows takes the inevitable dive. Same for the safe mode and now I neither.
Thanking anyone that can help and hope there is because I feel very insecure without them.
