I had a failing hard drive on my Win 2K Prof (SP4) system
(bad bearing). Used Norton Ghost 2003 to make a backup of
the drive and then restored the image to the new drive.
System booted up without a problem and seems to work
without difficulty EXCEPT commands such as tracert, ping
and ipconfig result in an error message that they are "not
recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file." If I enter the full path to the
command, it works just fine. So how do I repair the path
to the system folder?

Thanks,

Mark Phillips

Been a LONG day...five minutes after I posted this, I
realized I could edit the Environmental Variables path
setting there!
