Solve : Booting from USB to DOS - how to logout? |
|
Answer» Hi, I have CREATED a bootable USB great - I can also run Ghost from this USB great. However when I'm finished I still have a C prompt and I haven't been able to work out how to "logoff" or if I need to. I am not booted into XP/Vista/Wind 7 just using dos from my USB which gives me access to the NTFS disks (VIA NTFS4DOS or Ghost) and the cd drive. So what do I do not sure if just powering off is safe. The boot is done using the Win98 boot disk files on the USB. I see there are commands logoff and shutdown although neither are listed in my XP dos help but anyway these are to shutdown windows I'm not running windows, Anyone know the answer to this, Cheers, GrahameYou should be able to just power off your computer and restart.The proper way to shut down from DOS is to save any FILE you are working on, then exit back to the prompt from whatever app you are running (you can only run one at a time) and FINALLY switch off. We used to listen for HDD activity to stop. Of course, if you wish to reboot the MACHINE, you can do Ctrl-Alt-Delete or even press the reset button. This might be handy if you want to first remove the USB drive so that the machine will reboot from the next drive in the boot order list. |
