Summary: GNU C Compiler is not avaliable in command prompt - Help 

Initial Comment:
After installing MinGw, I tried to test the avaliablity of the GNU C compiler in the administrator command prompt by typing gcc -v 
However it I get the same message each time:
'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable programe or batch file.
I don't know where the problem is as I have added the location to  the system path.. 
Has anyone had similar problems or have any advice? 
Thank you!

Message:
Obviously you did not get GCC installed for some reason.  Try the following
command and if it doesn't help please take the issue to
min...@li... for support.

mingw-get install --reinstall gcc
