Nancy wrote:Ok ElmoJust as you're trying to do it. Did you try the DIR command? That was a test to see if you get the same error message.
If you had a floppy drive and you needed to run a program from the recovery console, how would you go about it? And please be detailed about it.

From my reply I followed a link to the knowledge base where I saw a link to the "Guided Help" file that does everything in the article. My question is, 'How do I run the guided help file from the Floppy drive, "A:" from the recovery console that shows "C:\WINDOWS>"'?Type a:
No matter what I type there is only one thing it EVER reads, "BAD COMMAND .....
I tried the CD and CHDIR command to get to the A: drive ... BAD COMMAND BAD FILE NAME ...or whatever. I hate dos. Any way, could someone please tell me how this file can be run?
Thank you very much for your patience.

The system cannot find the drive specified. (I don't have an A: drive.)
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>"a:"
'"a:"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
________________________________
I can't get that error message..
What happens when you type
DIR
Do you get a listing of file in a folder, or the same error message? If the "Bad Command" message, the command interpreter isn't being loaded. What you do about that, I don't know.
The recovery console only gives you a few options and doesn't give you an actual command or DOS window.
If you're referring to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us
.. I don't see how Guided Help can perform the operations for this problem. It states:
• You must be logged on to Windows by using a computer administrator account to install and to use this Guided Help.
• You must be running Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition to install and to use this Guided Help.
That, along with these statements:
For some tasks, you can select to run Guided Help in one of the following ways.
• Do it automatically: The whole task is automatically completed while you watch. You might be prompted for input if input is required.
• Show me step-by-step: Guided Help points on the screen to where you must click or type to perform the task.
.. suggests that you have to run Guided Help on another system and use the "Show me step-by-step" option since it will be running on another system.
Sorry I didn't see earlier what you were trying to do.
