I am trying to repair a windows system and I want to disable services
before windows starts.

How do you stop services from the recovery console before you restart
windows?

Are there some command line tools that will allow you to list them and
disable them in the registry before Windows starts? If they can also
list a short description of what they do that will be fine.

What is the minimal list of services required to boot windows
successfully?

I dont believe the recovery console loads any services - windows isnt
started during the process
msconfig, which is avilable to download if you dont have it can be used to
stop all startups & disable services, prior to a reboot
The list of services depends on what win components you have installed.
Services are added to when you install some apps.

From the recovery console command line.

LISTSVC
The listsvc command lists all available services, drivers, and their start
types for the current Windows installation.

ENABLE
enable servicename followed by one of the following;
SERVICE_BOOT_START
SERVICE_SYSTEM_START
SERVICE_AUTO_START
SERVICE_DEMAND_START

(Use the listsvc command to display all eligible services or drivers to
enable. The enable command prints the old start type of the service before
resetting it to the new value. It is a good idea to note the old value, in
case you have to restore the start type of the service.)

DISABLE
disable servicename

(Use the listsvc command to display all services or drivers that are
eligible to be disabled. The disable command prints the old start type of
the service before resetting the start type to SERVICE_DISABLED. Record the
old start type if you must enable the service again.)
