you can not format your drive while in a shell. \n\n-Reboot your computer \n-Boot your OS from the floppy or CD with a bootable disc that has the format command on it.\n- now format your Hard drive.

Greetings and may we all have peace.\nI don't know if you have a functioning Windows installed now so I will assume not, so you will be using DOS commands.  \nTo save files from c: you can either use the DOS command "backup", which copies files in a compressed format, or you can use "copy" or "xcopy".  Xcopy is a versatile form of copy that allows you a lot of selectivity in choosing which files to back up.  You need either another hard disk or a lot of blank, formatted floppy disks to received the backed-up files.  You could also back up to a CD but you need a CD Write drive and its own software installed under Windows, since DOS cannot copy to a CD.\nTo format c: use the DOS command "fdisk" and follow the instructions.\nTo install Windows use the install CD and enter d:&#92;install (or use the drive letter for the CD drive if it is not d:).  It is helpful, if you have a floppy drive, to insert a blank, formatted floppy in it to install some versions of Windows (e.g., Windows 98).

Type TRACERT address  at the DOS prompt.  I have XP here and it works fine.\n\nPS- Anybody that might run TRACERT needs to have a shortcut on the desktop to CMD.

If you have a recovery disc or a windows CD, use that instead. They are boot discs so you can just reboot your computer and set up will appear. It will automatically format for you.\n\nIf you need more help, just contact me.

For windows based system>>>\nXP- Start Menu>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt \nNow write  (format c:) c is the name of the drive, replace with the letter of ur drive that u wan2 format.\n\nWin 98- Start Menu>Programs>Command Prompt or Start ur computer in DOS mode and write the same command as XP\n\n\n\nRemember formatting a drive will erase all data from it.\n\n\nNeo

This must mean that the program is DOS based. Run it in window (and not fullscreen) mode, and then try the PrintScreen key.\n\nHope that works.

This is the syntax of Shell command \n\nShell commandstring [, windowstyle]\n\nThe Shell function has 2 parameter, second parameter is optional:\n\ncommandstring :- Name of the program to execute and any required arguments or command line switches.  If the program name in commandstring doesn't include a .COM, .EXE, .BAT, or .PIF file extension, .EXE is assumed.\n\nwindowstyle :- Number corresponding to the style of the window in which the program is to be executed.  If windowstyle is omitted, the program is opened minimized with focus, the same as windowstyle = 2.\n\ndifferent values for second parameter\n\n1-Normal with focus.\n2-Minimized with focus (default).\n3-Maximized with focus.\n4-Normal without focus.\n6-Minimized without focus.\n\n\nI think you are making mistake in giving the first parameter properly

In XP click on start | help | and in the search box on the upper left type "command reference" without the quotes. When the results come up click on the command reference link. There is a lot of information there. The list of commands can be seen by clicking the Commands a-z link.\n\nOn a Windows 2000 machine you can go to Start | Help | click on the search tab | type "command reference" without the quotes  | click on the Windows 2000 Command Reference that results from the search and it has a ton of commands and explains about each one.

Not natively within DOS... but with a MS resource you can.\n\nSee here ( http://www.windowsitpro.com/Web/Article/ArticleID/16048/16048.html  ) for more info - but the gist is that httpcmd.exe allows you to pipe HTML GET requests and use the output - which should let you download and save files if used correctly.\n\nHope that helps!

Just use cmd when you go to start-run and it will bring up the command prompt\n\nThen you can run your commands.

you would need a vt100 program to do it. I dont know linux, or if it would work on linux, but there is a program called Procomm that does vt100. you would have to find the DOS version if its still around. To do an escape sequence you just type it as it appears, example:\n\nESC[0m\n\nHit the Esc button and [0m

Use DOS.  open up a command window.  Start>Run  type CMD.\n\ncd yourdirectory...   \n\nthen type DIR this will give you a list of names and directorys.  \n\nright click... select all.  then right click on the dos window pane at the top (this is important).  then select Edit copy.  you can paste the text wherever you want to print.
