@ Daniel Nordlund : I've also tried the dir that you recommended. R is still not recognized as a command in CMD.exe
@ Uwe Ligges : There are no blanks before or after the semicolon. I added them after I copied it so that it would be more legible. And for some of the dir's in the path, having a backslash at the end still works. However, I tried it with and without the backslash for the R_HOME\bin and \bin\i386 folders. Nothing seems to work. @Gene Lynes : I have been using the GUI the whole time so it wasnt too hard changing the path constantly. And I've also set the R_HOME variable as well. I'm starting to regret clearing the partition that had Ubuntu. Life would've been so much easier had I not erased it. I will definitely let you know if I have any breakthroughs.
