The 72 hour bump room is for bumping a currently open HijackThis log topic in the Malware Removal room, which has been there for 72 hours without receiving a response from a helper. You have no topic in the Malware Removal room; therefore, you should not have posted in the 72 hour bump room.
To answer your question, no it would not be possible to work from a C prompt. Removing malware requires more than running HijackThis, it requires the ability to run multiple other tools. If your laptop has been disabled by malware to the point you are unable to even boot into the Windows operating system, then you require more than the help you can receive at an online help site. Your best option is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall your operating system.
