Explanation

In Windows 2000 Professional, device drivers can be disabled through Device Manager (the GUI method) or via the Recovery Console (a command-line startup option). The Recovery Console provides administrative access to disable problematic drivers that prevent the system from booting normally. ERD (Emergency Repair Disk), RDISK (creates ERD), and Disk Management Console don't offer driver disable functionality.
