    Help is also a program.

    It seems you may have lost your path setting(s).

    DiGiTaIErRoR is probably right.
    try typing "PATH" at the command prompt and see what you get.

    It should look like:

    PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

    If not, set it to the above. It should work.

    If not, the hell you're not formatting.

    OK that close. It works. But if I close cmd.exe and re-open it, it loses the path.

    "Path" is an environment variable, so if you set it in the right place it should always stay correct.

    Set it in:
    Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> environment variables.

    It should be listed under "System Variables", if not you'll need to add it.

    Lose the 'PATH=' portion and try it again.

    Wonder how he lost it.

    Glad my suggestion led to a resolving of this issue.
