Hi,
In Dos mode (Windows shut down), I suspect the reason you can't enter a
directory that is at the end of a long path, is due to a limited amount of
space (that holds your location "path") in the "environment"
(memory used by Dos). As you try to "CD" (change directory),
you will receive an "Invalid Directory" message (normally seen when
you miss-spell the name of a directory). I have found that at the
Dos "prompt", you can enter the directory. In other words, you
have "more range" at the Dos "prompt" than in Dos mode.
Is there a way I can go beyond the long path limit (example:
"WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM~1\....") so I can enter
a directory at the end of a long path in Dos mode (Windows shut down)?
Thanks in advance, Brad
