Booting to WinRE will give you the tools to access your entire C:\
but you need to determine what drive letter WinRE has given to your C:\
for the session you have booted to. To achieve this you use DISKPART
.
DISKPART
and press EnterLIST VOL
and press EnterSYSTEM
or WINDOWS
or WIN8
etc. and often have the volume capacity (another easy bit of information to identify your C:\
).C:
EXIT
and press Enter - The command prompt will return to the X:\Sources>
promptC:
and press Enter - it should change the working directory to the drive letter. To verify it is your C:\
type dir
and press Enter and you should see your Users
folder which you can enter into (cd Users
) and dir
again to see your user account.Thanks for the response, so I have made it into diskpart, listed 3 volumes c, e and f. I exit going back to x source run cd: \e but the next line returns x source again. – ManWithNoName – 2016-08-25T16:15:56.820
Your syntax is incorrect. Chris indicates the correct syntax to use. – Ramhound – 2016-08-25T16:17:21.740
1You need to type: e:
then press Enter

Yeah sorry that was a typo. I have ended up using pushd command to get to the drive unfortunately ordinary cd didn't want to work – ManWithNoName – 2016-08-25T16:36:31.263
4That's because you don't use cd
to change drive letters :) – Kinnectus – 2016-08-25T16:39:50.937
You only need to type E: (no cd, or anything, just E:) – var firstName – 2016-08-25T16:41:51.247
1Mark this as an answer if it solved your problem, @ManWithNoName. – var firstName – 2016-08-25T16:42:35.563
What have you tried exactly? It should be as simple as chaning the working directory to the drive letter assigned to the system partition, it might not be C, you should give us more information to work with. – Ramhound – 2016-08-25T15:49:48.757
Have you tried typing
C:
in the cmd on recovery? – Shayan – 2019-10-26T21:04:34.370
