Vista bootmgr compressed VISTA - need command prompt!

I am at wit's end and even though my 8 year old bought his HP G60 with his own money, I am about to hurl it out the window as I wasn't "consulted" and would not have condoned this unfamiliar to me Vista O/S.
All I wanted to do was reset the computer/system to factory defaults. He is gaming now a few years later with nothing important and seemed the quickest way to clean up the PC. I create recovery disks, a NICE LITTLE PROCESS that took 3 entire days. NO JOKE. I had to place every few hours COLD PACKS under and on it because this thing from day one runs hotter then heck.
So voila, it's done. And reboots. And I hope there is some other bored GEEK reading this because I can't find ONE POST on the entire Al Gore Internet that gets me to a command prompt without using install disks. This HP shipped with no install o/s disks. I created the recovery as a safety net, and it's starting over AGAIN and personally, I don't have 3 more days and hot pack maintenance in me before I just buy a new one. PLEASE HELP. It seems simple enough to get to a command prompt and uncompress something I never even intended to compress nor did in any keystroke of my imagination.
He is losing faith in his mother who he believes created MPLS.... got a network problem, I'm your gal. Word won't load, call IT. Windows XP has an issue, UNIX, learning Win7... but this Vista? grrrrrr. Where's the wine for my WHINE?

I guess I only said it in the subject. boot gets BOOMGR is compressed. Press Control Alt Del to restart. Tried the normal ways to boot and get into some start up, but seems I need a command prompt to uncompress...

Need Command Prompt, system reboots at startup

Laptop will not boot to XP pro windows. loops at reboot. I do not have CD's for the system. I used another XP service pack 2 install CD but when accessing the repair console the install CD cannot find any hard drives. I used the Recovery console for the thinkpad and ran all diagnostic tests and everything past. I cannot find where I can access a command prompt so I can run the CHKDSK on the system to repair the corrupted boot file. I sooner not use the restore the system until I see if the chkdsk works since the system has service pack 3 and other updates which are not restored and this may not fix the boot problem.
How can I get to a command prompt?

And then there are network storage if you have more than one computer, or use HomeGroup (Win 7) to access files across LAN.
My Music Media Library is never on the boot drive, I wish the iPod backup wasnt as well.
For an excellent utility to clone Windows OS drive2drive, I recommend and use Paragon HDM 2011 Suite, used as needed and weekly so I always have a system clone that I can pop in and boot from, no image, no restore needed (set the BIOS or hot key). Wouldn't be w/o and $49. Takes 10 minutes for 50GB Windows OS.

I Need Help Adjusting Command Prompt Directories

I have the satellite L505D---S5983 and I need to change my prompt from C:\Users\Brandon>. I have tried every search I can think of but nothing is working for me. Please help. I need this to be fixed ASAP, I am a app developer for android and I need to get back up and running.

Satellite L505D-S5983
I need to change my prompt from C:\Users\Brandon>.
Brandon, make a shortcut to cmd (%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe) and name it Command Prompt.
Right-click the shortcut, click Properties, and put the folder you want (c:\, for instance) in the Start in: field on the Shortcut tab.
I find it's a good idea to open command prompts in elevated mode. To do that, click the Advanced button on the same tab and set Run as administrator.

Runtime.exec() I need to run a command prompt command from java.

the code i have that doesn't seem to work is:
String driveloc = System.getProperty("user.dir").substring( 0, 1 );
        String path = jTextFieldPath.getText();
        String path2 = jTextFieldPath.getText().substring(0, jTextFieldPath.getText().length()-3) + "lst";
        String[] cmd = { "cmd.exe", "/" + driveloc, "ASMtools\\AS11 " + path + " -L >" + path2};
        txt_mf.append( cmd[3] );
        try {
            Process np = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
        catch( java.io.IOException ioe) {
            //error
        }jTextFieldPath.getText() contains the path of the file saved by my program.
the line of code i am trying to run is:
AS11 FILE1 -L FILE2this line compiles the asm file and converts it to a lst creating an s19 file in the process. AS11 is an exe that aids the command prompt much like javac.
If you could help me figure this out it would be great.
Thanks in advance,

String driveloc =
System.getProperty("user.dir").substring( 0, 1 );
String[] cmd = { "cmd.exe", "/" + driveloc,
"ASMtools\\AS11 " + path + " -L >" + path2};Are you sure you want to invoke cmd.exe with the switch /c or /d or whatever depending on System.getProperty("user.dir") ?

What command to use in command prompt inside HP Recovery Manager to recover hard drive?

Hi,
I'm trying to use HP's Recovery Manager to restore my hard drive to the original factory settings. When going into Recovery Manager via "F11" during computer startup, all of the options are greyed out except, "Run Computer Checkup." Inside that option, all options are greyed-out except, "Open a command prompt."
Once I open a command prompt, the window title is "Administrator: X:\Windows\system32\Cmd.exe" and the command line in the window is "X:\Windows\RM\>"
I have no idea what command to enter here to recover the hard drive! What command should I use???
Why are all the normal options in Recovery Manager greyed out?
Background: I dropped my laptop and afterwards the computer will power on but not boot up from the hard drive - it says there is a hard drive error. I have been able to recover most/many files from the harddrive by taking it out and connecting it to another computer and using a recovery software program. I am not sure if the hard drive is physically/irreparably damaged, but it does spin and I have recovered many files from it. Now ready to recover it back to original state and then reload my recovered files.
Computer: HP Pavilion DM3-1030us purchased in January 2010
OS: Windows 7
Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer!

There isn't a command that I am aware of to use at the command prompt that will recover your computer. If you dropped your computer, it is likely that the hard drive suffered physical damage. Please see HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) for instructions on testing the hard drive. It is also possible that the HP Recovery partition was damaged and you may need to use the HP Recovery Media you created when you first setup your computer
If you didn't create this media, please contact official HP Customer Support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer. Software may not be covered by the warranty and there may be a charge for the HP Recovery Media.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Portuguese characters in Command Prompt

Hello.
I have a similar problem but in Portuguese.
I've written an application in LUA connecting to an Oracle 11gR1 database,
running on Windows Vista Business 32.
The database charset is WE8MSWIN1252.
I have a table in which there is a column that have a value of "Manuteção".
When I run a query to the database using SQLDeveloper it works fine.
When the connection is made using LUA it retrieves wrong values. Even
SQL*Plus (DOS) get the values in the wrong way ("ManutenþÒo").
I do not know where should I set up any session parameter to get the
queries working in the same way SQLDeveloper does.
I have read the articles on NLS_PARAMETERS ( FAQ etc ) but I didn't
find any recipe or method to correct the client behavior.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you very much
Jayme Jeffman Filho

Your problem is quite different from the original question about length of Spanish characters in AL32UTF8, therefore, I have branched your question into a new thread.
Regarding SQL*Plus Command Prompt (DOS), you need to set NLS_LANG to the OEM code page as follows:
C:\>chcpThis will show:
Active code page: 437or
Active code page: 850Depending on the output, use the following:
C:\>set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US8PC437
C:\>sqlplusor
C:\>set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8PC850
C:\>sqlplusThis should solve the problem for SQL*Plus. Of course, you can use BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL in place of AMERICAN_AMERICA:
C:\>set NLS_LANG=BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8PC850
C:\>sqlplusRegarding the LUA application, is it a Command Prompt (character mode) application as well? Do the incorrect characters look the same as in SQL*Plus Command Prompt?

Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
Sreedhar

Hi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
e.g: rwrun.exe REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
-v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"

Running a GUI application without holding command prompt

Hi there ,
I have developed a GUI application using Swing. After compiling the same successfully , when I run the same , presently , I am running it like ,
c:\> java xxx
where c:\ is the general command prompt on a Windows machine where I can type in my commands like javac or java and xxx is the class file name . Now till I complete using my GUI application and exit from the same , the command prompt will also be there ( and probably displaying the output of my System.out.println ) . So , two sessions are running , one is just the command prompt and another is the actual GUI application.
How can I avoide this ? e.g. when I type command "notepad" and press enter , notepad is started and the command prompt returns after starting notepad i.e. the notepad and the command prompt are not related now , I can close the command intrepreter and still notepad is running . What should I do to create such a Java GUI application ? Please advice .

If I understand you correctly this is something that happens in linux also. And I believe that you can solve this by creating to shortcut to this program.
And the shortcut or link to application will be the command line that you use to run the Java Application.
i.e.
java c:\javadir\subjavadir\application.class
And I believe that this will allow it to run without the command prompt. Just showing the GUI and no additional command prompt window. Freeing the command prompt is something that I don't know how to do in either OS.
I use the Link To Application method because I ultimately don't need to have multiple windows for one application. Even though it is nice to be able to kill the Application by destroying the command-prompt session (in case your app causes lock-ups during testing).
Post your results . . . I'm not even sure that I'm being clear at all with my explanation to your question.

Hi,
you need to make the necessary changes to the %odi%\bin\odiparams.bat config file, under the "Repository Connection Information" section so that startscen knows how to extract metadata from your repository.
You apparently have left the default settings to the Hypersonic demo repository. Is that the technology your repository is hosted on?

Test Execution hangs while executing a test from Command prompt option

I have done the following

2) Added different scripts as Script->Properties->Assets to the driver script
3) Call each of this asset script from TestDriver using command getScript("<<ScrptName>>".run(1, true, true, true);
4) Now calling this TestDriver script from command prompt with command

The script execution hangs at "Initializing VU 1 for Script TestDriver. After few mintues of seeing this message i get error "Execution Timed Out".
Do I need to keep openscript UI open for script execution from command line ?
Is there any way to increase this Execution Time out ? May be it is taking time to load the internal script assets. AS other scripts are running fine on the same machine from command prompt itself.

Hi e_raja_sekar,

Is it possible to run a java program without using the command prompt?

Hi,
I was wondering whether it is possible to run a Java program (not an applet) without using a command line in the command prompt?
Basically I want to run a program that will be continually running in the background and hence I don't want to have a command prompt screen loaded up as well - I just want the program to be running in the task bar.
I know how to run the program in the task bar - but I still need to launch the program from the command prompt - is there anyway I can get a program running without having to start it from the command prompt?
Cheers

Or create a desktop shortcut (in Windows) or an application launcher ( in Linux GUI).
