Immediately after "C:\Unzipped\syslinux-4.02\DOS>  syslinux -d syslinux
o:" , Chain.c32, menu.c32, vesamenu.c32 and memdisk are copied to O:(my
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,
