Ok, I fucked up my laptop
 

Is there anyway boot up in dos without windows starting or a boot disk? I basically need to change a file from my system32 folder to the file a cd.. the only way to do this is to get into dos..

:helpme

I find a good smack on top of the keyboard works great :glugglug

format c:

hehe

sounds like you need a mac.

Im in dos now but i can't get into my windows\system32 folder.. its sitting there C:\>

cd windows
cd system32

"Invaild directory"

dir

shows all files in only C:\ not folders, it seems to have hidden all the folders WTF?

stroke it

what are you on ? i mean what version of win ?

WinXP

C:\>Dir

ATTRIB EXE
CHKDSK EXE
CHOICE COM
DEBUG EXE
EDIT COM
EXT EXE
FORMAT COM
HELP BAT
MSCDEX EXE
RESTART COM
SCANDISK EXE
SCANDISK INI
SYS COM

14 file(s)
0 dir(s)

How could that be possible? Where are my folders?

This is what i have to do to get my system running
del ntoskrnl.exe which is in windows\system32
then
Copy d:\ntoskrnl.exe c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

And thats it, but i can't do shit unless i get into the windows & system32 unless anyone knows otherwise ...


and juicy thanks for that cock

it's just your operating system files in DOS. since the Win, sys are stored in Win XP. so if you want to get those files/folder. you must be on it (XP) to view the files/folers.

hold on. let me check out something for you.

Alright thanks man, i just moved about 2 gigs of shit over to this laptop (its brand new) I don't feel like doing it again :(

can you still run win XP on that lappy ?

why don't you go to the dos promt to do it ? ( Run -->CMD)

Windows will not load at all :( Otherwise I would have already done it

*Bump* my blood vessels are popping out of my head.

Fixed i am proud of myself..

:thumbsup

yes use a windows 98 cd and boot up from cd

Thanks! Your about 5 chewed finger nails late! Nah just kidding i did something else :)

what did you do ?

I just used a win2k disk, and did a console recovery, then deleted the file, but i remembered i had a backup of the file in the same directory i think windows was reconizing both and didn't know what to do.
