Immediately after "C:\Unzipped\syslinux-4.02\DOS> syslinux -d syslinux

usb drive)

AS per your suggestion corrected the entry as follows:
LABEL cmdcons
MENU LABEL ^2.cmdcons =>Windows Recovery Console
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0,1 cmldr=/cmldr

the last output you see >I saw as follows:
loading the boot file ...
Boting ...
"-" cursor keeps on blincking
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Please ignore if out of place:
(i) the entery:
LABEL cmdcons =>Windows Recovery Console
MENU LABEL ^2.cmdcons =>Windows Recovery Console
COM32 chain.c32 fs cmldr=cmldr
APPEND hd0 1 cmldr=cmldr
was made as per syslinux-4.02\Usage_chain.c32.:
Usage: chain.c32 [options]
chain.c32 fs [options]
Options:
cmldr=<loader> Load Recovery Console of Windows
NT/2K/XP/2003
and was giving the same output
loading the boot file ...
Boting ...
"-" cursor keeps on blincking
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What next please,
Thanks in advance
with regards,
