Solve : "Bad command or file name" during system restore? |
|
Answer» I have an Emachine T2542 Desktop. I'm trying to do a complete restore using the Restore CD's that came with the computer. After inserting the disk, I reboot the computer and get the FOLLOWING: that error message sounds like a missing command interpreter Well it's not. Windows NT doesn't have a command interpreter that is required for boot-up.

Please help. type "dir" and report what it says.After typing "dir" I get a very long list "country, bug, display, etc." followed by 27 files 1,422,108 bytes 0 dirs 28,672 bytes free Do I scrap mat123's idea about the floppy? Finally got a hold of one today but seems to be a bad disk. I can get more tomorrow.Try it again. Do NOT use the number pad. Use the numbers at the top of the keyboard. "Use the numbers at the top of the keyboard." Already tried that and just tried it again. Still get "Bad command or file name".I was guessing. Bad guess. You said you can do the 'DIR' command, so the system is there and reads your keyboard OK. Is there an AUTOEXEC.BAT file present?' If so, Do this: (the purple letters.) A:>type autoexec.bat Also: A:>type config.sys Maybe that will provide a clue. dir with the P switch lets you use the spacebar to scroll thru all the info... Usage : dir /p Enter... Following "type autoexec.bat": (Missing some info off top of screen), then :Restore echo off ghost -clone,mode=load,src=R:\T2542.gho,dst=1 -sure -ntil cls ECHO.
