You can access the Repair Environment using a Retail Windows Disc.

Boot using the disk and carefully read the options offered - one will be to Repair the Windows install. Pick that and then follow the instructions to open a Command Prompt window.

If you don't have a disk, you can download the ISO and create one - use the links from here to download the ISO and use the Windows Disk Image Burner to burn it to DVD
