Computer Q&A Board / Windows / Comand Prompt Issue
Posted by: sarvet, October 23rd, 2006, 1:46pm
I am running WIN2000 Pro.
When I open my cmd pmt window, the default setting is:
C:\Documents and Settinting\Administrator.Maze1(local computer name)>
Non of the command line funtions work. I have tried all my old DOS tricks to change the prompt to C:\, but have been unsuccessfull. I recently did a reinstall of the OS, and figure this were the WINNT resides. I have thought about installing just the system files again in C:\. Any ideas?

Did you try CD\ at the prompt? This should move you to the root directory C:
Of course, if none of the command line functions is working, this one won't either.
If the prompt isn't working, you are probably missing the necessary files to run it.
I would run sfc [system file checker] and then chkdsk.
If this didn't correct the problem try using the repair function on the installation disk.
Best of luck :)
