Sorry DosFreak. I'm brand new to forums and I didn't think of that. I'm not sure how to post the link so I've pasted the instructions. Hope that makes up for it.
To delete the Recovery Console

2.Double-click My Computer, and then double-click the hard drive on which you installed the Recovery Console.
3.On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
4.Click the View tab.
5.Click Show hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.
6.At the root directory, delete the \Cmdcons folder.
7.At the root directory, delete the file Cmldr.
8.At the root directory, right-click the Boot.ini file and then click Properties.
9.Clear the Read-only check box, and then click OK.
10.Open Boot.ini in Notepad, and remove the entry for the Recovery Console. It will look similar to this:
