Command Prompt

Eh..people on another forum are taking years to answer so im sure someone will have some knowledge with this here .



I'm wondering if I should put the regular stuff (like Program Files, My Documents) right after the C> or do I have to add C:\ after the C> and then write all of that junk?

p.s. in reference to my other thread that no one answered, anyone know how to cancel their megaupload account? Thanks.

 

What opsys are you on?

 

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with command prompt. Whats opsys? Operating system im guessing? If so Im not sure where to find the answer. Im using Windows XP if that helps any.

 

What exactly are you trying to do again???

 

put linux on an ipod, and in the tut it says to do this. :unsure:

 

Hmmz, type in cd X:\

X would be the letter of the ipod

Edit - to go to my documents it would be 'cd My Documents'

Edit2 - Using the command prompt is like navigating, to see where you are, or what files are in your current directory, type 'dir'.

 

Ok Im not saying watch this whole thing but if you fast forward to about 57 seconds into this video you will see where im at, where he opens command prompt. You probably will need to pause when the text comes up to read it, because it has to do with the command prompt. Thats what im trying to do.

I just wanna say thanks for the help and patience so far.

 

The aes.exe thing?

Edit - This would be alot easier over MSN, you have?

 

No all I got is AIM: Dencity45

 

Okay this is what you wanna do.

Put the aes.exe into the folder MY DOCUMENTS...
Then open cmd and type "Cd C:\Document And Settings\Owner\My Documents"

Then type "aes.exe" and it should open up.

The folder "OWNER" might not be on your computer... some people have it named something else but mines called Owner.

*UPDATED* Made a mistake... but its all good now.

 

Damn. Are you on Windows XP?

Nahh, it's more like C:\Documents and Settings\User

I believe thats what was there...

 

he already said so >_>


I'd just like to say Cmd Prompt = awesomeness.

 

Yea I just dont know why when I open command prompt it says C>, does it mean the same thing as C:\ or something?

 

Okay updated my post... I made a little mistake but its all good now.

Its means your starting out on your C:\ drive. You need to CD to your other folders.

Wait I think I FOUND your problem... your opening "command.exe" try opening "cmd.exe". Yes there both stand for command but there 2 different run programs.

 

Yeah, it's just the directory your in...
