As Reco says: that's a success. You're in a DOS command-line
environment.
New experience: I've never explained DOS commands in terms of
shell commands before; it's always been the other way around.
UNIX systems have a single root; DOS systems have a root on each
filesystem, and filesystems are identified by a letter followed
by a colon. Traditionally A: and B: are removable media and C:
is a hard disk, but it's not mandatory.
Change to a different filesystem root by typing the letter
followed by a colon
c:
ls dir (you want /p for paginate)
cd chdir (later versions allow you to substitute cd)
fsck chkdisk
reset cls clear screen
rm del
cp copy
cp -r xcopy
Go find the executable you need and run it by just typing its
name or its path. Remember the slashes are backwards.
