Gandalph Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think I know what you have done. You have actually used a DOS command to shut your computer down. Try shutdown -r which should shutdown the machine then restart it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 The command -i is for XP, 7 & 8 use /i.The thing that puzzles me is the DOS shutdown command is -s for XP and /s for 7 & 8, not-i or /i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Seeing as the edit button is not working I will add a bit more here.If you have messed up your operating system using DOS commands, you will need to boot from your OS CD and do a repair install as you cannot start XP or later using a DOS command.

-pops- Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 It is highly advisable always to have an up-to-date full system backup. It is essential to have a full system backup if you delve into the inner workings of your computer such as using DOS prompts or looking into the registry - these parts are not as forgiving as the GUI might me when you do something amiss.
