It puzzles me...

Since Win 2K doesn't have "System Restore", I'm running ERUNT program, which serves very same purpose (or even better).

Download, and short description - http://www.majorgeek...wnload1267.html
Full manual - http://pcug.org.au/b...ERUNT/ERUNT.htm

To restore my registry, I'm suppose to run "erdnt.exe" command from a given day directory.
Surely, running it from within Windows takes just a double click on its shortcut. There is no problem to run it manually from Command Prompt (within Windows), but...
if I reboot to Recovery Console, and I navigate through DOS commands to a directory where "erdnt.exe" is located, when I type it in, and hit Enter

it gives me:
Bad command or filename
error.

Why would that be? Does it have anything to do with "command.com" located in my c:\winnt\system32 directory, instead of root directory?

Yes...
">" is always very last symbol in command line, prompting you to type something in...
Just open your Command Prompt, and you'll see...

Problem solved, thanks to some nice people at WindowsBBS, and my few hours of emails exchange with Mike, the author of Erunt's manual HERE
