Command ( hdfs namenode –format ) is not working.

Error message:

C:\Spark\hadoop\New folder\hadoop-2.8.0.tar\hadoop-2.8.0\hadoop-2.8.0\bin>hdfs namenode -format
'C:\Spark\hadoop\New' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'-classpath' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Could you please help me in troubleshooting this issue

Issue resolved by using points.

1.Space issue in the JDK path causing this issue
Workaround to ignore space ( PROGRA1 ) in the folder
C:\PROGRA1\Java\jdk1.8.0_152

2.C drive is not recognized
workaround:Remove C:/ from file ( hdfs-site.xml )
/hadoop-2.8.0/data/namenode

@devayan851989 I do not understand how you solved the issue number 1.
This is my JDK path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_351 that i saved in hadoop-env.cmd file.
How should i modify this? I would appreciate it, if you answered this. Thanks

hello. I cant seem to figure out my error:
I can run the HDFS command, but I cant seem to run any other commands after hdfs command.
Example: hdfs namenode -format: my windows cmd says that the internal or external command is not found.
What should I do?
