I would like to aim towards the Command Prompt or whatever the " true " terminology is for entering in command line commands in XP and newer Versions of Windows.
It's not DOS anymore. The current Windows prompt is Windows CMD.

I " presume " that there is other Directories on the disk besides #C:\
These other Directories could be in the form of partitions, i do not know.
Other disks, if present, will be available as d:\, e:\, and so forth. Windows Vista and 7 and probably 8 make special recovery/boot partitions that they won't normally show you but should be visible to other operating systems.
Network paths like \\server\path\to\folder are invalid in CMD.
In Windows XP and newer, you can manually assign a drive letter to a share however:
In older versions, I think it's accomplished with the NET SHARE command.

So i will point the question to the whole 110 percent of the Disk that Microsoft resides on, and just what is the true and correct terminology and way to work with the white text on black background is.
I would like to actually see with my eyeballs what there is on the Disk. I am working towards installing Linux on a HP Mini and would like to preserve the XP and its dependencies and associates.
Thank you.
Using Linux is an excellent way to do so actually, since it will not be using any of the usual Windows filters on what you see and will not restrict you from system folders.
I'd suggest booting a Knoppix livecd instead of installing Linux, at least at first, so you can get some experience with it.
Lately I've been trying to fix a 1991 Packard Bell, it's been running fine, but it's eating my memory for fun and taking away my pages. Is it worth my time trying to fix it, and is it possible to put new programs on it? thank you (9 Replies)

I know nothing of unix and didn't know where to start. I've heard of a DOS to Unix translator, and since I know DOS pretty well, I thought that this program would be perfect. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

I have navigated every DOS and UNIX FAQ to find the DOS equivalent of the UNIX ps command (ps -f would be even better) but all listings of DOS<>UNIX commands do not have it (they all have the same basic commands listed).

Dear all, I am trying to write a unix shell with C++ that is similar to Windows command line.

rifiuti2
RIFIUTI2(1) A MS Windows recycle bin analysis tool RIFIUTI2(1)NAME
rifiuti2 - A MS Windows recycle bin analysis tool
SYNOPSIS
rifiuti [ -x ] [ -tnl8 ] [ -o outfile ] filename
rifiuti-vista [ -x ] [ -n8 ] [ -o outfile ] file_or_directory
DESCRIPTION
Rifiuti2 is a rewrite of rifiuti, a great tool from Foundstone folks for analyzing Windows Recycle Bin INFO2 file. Analysis of Windows
Recycle Bin is usually carried out during Windows computer forensics. Rifiuti2 can extract file deletion time, original path and size of
deleted files and whether the deleted files have been moved out from the recycle bin since they are trashed. Rifiuti2 supports the INFO2
file format found in Windows up to Windows XP and the new file format found in Vista, and the program is fully internationalized. If you
need to analyse recycle bins of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, you should use the rifiuti-vista command, for other Windows plat-
forms, you should use the rifiuti command.
Quoting from original Foundstone page:
Many computer crime investigations require the reconstruction of a subject's Recycle Bin. Since this analysis technique is executed
regularly, we researched the structure of the data found in the Recycle Bin repository files (INFO2 files). Rifiuti, the Italian
word meaning "trash", was developed to examine the contents of the INFO2 file in the Recycle Bin. ... Rifiuti is built to work on
multiple platforms and will execute on Windows (through Cygwin), Mac OS X, Linux, and *BSD platforms."
Since the original rifiuti (last updated 2004) is restricted to English version of Windows (fail to analyze any non-latin character), thus
this rewrite. But it does more:
* Supports Windows in any other languages besides English
* Supports Vista and 2008 (they don't use INFO2 file any more)
* Enables localization (that is, translatable)
* More rigorous error checking
* Supports output in XML format
OPTIONS
These are plain text output options:
-t --delimiter=STRING
String to use as delimiter (TAB by default)
-n --no-heading
Don't show header
-l --legacy-filename
Show legacy filename instead of unicode
-8 --always-utf8
Always show file names in UTF-8 encoding
These are general application Options:
-o --output=FILE
Write output to FILE
-x --xml
Output in XML format (-t, -n, -l, -8 options will have no effect)
--from-encoding=ENC
The assumed file name character set when no unicode file name is present in INFO2 record (mandatory if INFO2 file is created by
Win98, useless otherwise)
