@pmeha44,

 

X: drive is a temporary drive created by the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), and Windows resides in a volume (Windows partition) on the hard drive. In the WinRE a letter assigned to the Windows partition may not be C but something else D, E, F . . .  

 

You need to run diskpart and run the 'list volume' command to find the drive letter of the Windows partition and then change the directory to \windows\system32. You need to do these things.

 

1. At the X:\sources prompt, type diskpart and click Enter.

 

2. Type list volume and click Enter.  [find the letter assigned to Windows]

 

3. Type exit and then Enter to exit out of diskkpart.

 

4. At the X:\sources prompt, type this command line and click Enter.

     cd /d #:\windows\system32    [# is C, D, E . . ]

From File Explorer, you can split to 2 screen or simply exit x:\sources and go to x:\windows\system32 Is this you first time to use a Windows computer ?

 

Update: Now I know you are using DOS command. You can use cd..

 

x:\sources>cd..         to go back to x:\>  then from x:\> type Windows\system32 to get to x:\Windows\system32
