SUMMARY
When you use the cd or chdir (change directory) command in Recovery Console, you may receive the following error message:

The command is not recognized, Type HELP for a list of supported commands.



MORE INFORMATION
This message occurs if you type the cd or chdir command in one of the following ways:

cd[/d] [drive:][path]

cd[..]

cd[\]

chdir[/d] [drive:][path]

chdir[..]

chdir[\]

Although these commands work in MS-DOS or at a Microsoft Windows NT command prompt, Recovery Console requires that you insert a space between the command and the switch. Type the command in one of the following ways:

cd [/d] [drive:][path]

cd [..]

cd [\]

chdir [/d] [drive:][path]

chdir [..]

chdir [/]
