Problem Windows 8 Can't add more ram

[whatshisface9]

OS: Windows 8
I am using this server on my home computer.
I am using Mindcrack v7.
I did not add any extra mods.
It has the default server specs.
Java version: Version 7 Update 10

I found this bat file,

java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true

so that I can add more RAM to my server. When I try to run it, it says "Java is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"
All help would be appreciated, so that I can start my server with more RAM.

first read this
http://java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

you need to add java to your system path
I am surprised that it works at all

second
how much ram is in your system, is windows 64bit if so you want to make sure you have 64bit java installed
once you have java in your system path run this command

java -version

What should I set the PATH variable?

 

[glasspelican]

you will want to add something like

;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin

what the exact line is depends on your system
also note that each of the entrees in the variable is separated by a ";"

 

[whatshisface9]

I did "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin", and it still says the same thing, that is the only spot where i have Java

 

[glasspelican]

did you set the user or system path variable?
you want to set the system

 

[whatshisface9]

Yes, it is in system

 

[glasspelican]

after changing the path you need to reboot
did you separate the java line from the other elements with a ;

 

[whatshisface9]

I restarted my computer, and it still doesn't work

u have 64bit java right?[DOUBLEPOST=1357861756][/DOUBLEPOST]oh i see the problem set ur java path to a regular Program Files folder if their is java in their then that will be the java 64bit which is needed for higher ram allocation

Yes i'm having the same problem. I can't add more RAM to my server, i run it on windows 8 and it always says: Java is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. Please help

 

[MomoNasty]

Shane that means java isnt installed

 

[Shane Cristiano]

I have java installed but it could be that i have to hard drives? maybe it can't find the java location?

 

[MomoNasty]

Ahh might be the problem if you arent running raid 1 with them then it will only look for java in the default hdd.

 

[glasspelican]

that error means that java didnt install itself onto your system path
