Protected Directories???

[grace232005]

hi!  i have a boot failure problem and i'm trying to access winnt files which is stored in drive c.  using msdos, i've noticed that the winnt directory is displayed like this...

WINNT   `  <DIR>

the command I used was cd\winnt

but i encountered an invalid syntax.  there's is also a ` symbol, and i'm not sure if this is a part of the syntax.  

i've also tried the command cd\winnt   `

and i encountered an error that the ` exceeds the parameter.  i can't access all the directories which have ` symbol.

can anyone tell me what the correct syntax is?  thanx!!!

You could try using:

cd "\WINNT   `"

I'd be more curious about where these ` came from. :-?

ok i'll try it tmrw.  i also don't know where the ` came from.  most of the directories have ` in it, and i'm having trouble accessing the files that is contained in those directories.
