cmd problem

Hello,

Are you using a Recovery CD or an original Windows XP CD?

Why are you using the "prompt i:\" command? You have to type "i:" (no
quotes) and hit Enter to get the I prompt correctly.

What is the drive of your CD-ROM? Is it I (I for Iran)? If not, check it in
My Computer and substitute I for it.

Does your CD-ROM contain the i386 folder?
