Solve : select a filepath in dos?

Answer»

Does anyone know how to BRING up the contents of a valid file path in DOS.

I am being told to do the following:

Change into the directory, in which you stored the two files, e.g. C:/Puppy. Enter these commands:
c:
cd \
cd puppy
dir *.*

In place of c:, I'm guessing they want the FULL file path of my files. The DOS reader defaults to:

C:\Documents and Settings\Tim K>

When I put in the full file path it's not recognised as a batch file etc.

I've attached the file path of the Linux app (this has got to surely be something very basic!):

N.B. I've unzipped the files, so all the files (35 of them) are on the c drive.

to cd to a folder which has spaces in the path name ENCLOSE it in quotes thus

CD "C:\Path to files\folder"

You should not have done that. You need 2 files: (1) an .iso file. This is a CD image. You burn it to a CD. (2) a .txt file. This contains the md5 checksum for the iso file.
