Resolved Command prompt problem

I have an exterior hard drive shown as K. When I try to access it (cd K:\) it just takes me back to C drive. Any ideas
Thanks

 

Hi cozzielex,

CD (change directory) does change the current directory for a drive... But the CLI won't show the drive

Try

Code:

K:

if the CLI was at C:\windows and you have a K:\books directory then either

Code:

CD K:\books
K:

or

Code:

K:
cd \books

would work and

Code:

C:

would take you back to C:\Windows... Long story short, CD changes directories, you need X: to change drives.

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks Wildfire, that was simple enough!

 

No problem, now I wonder if MS will change CD (change directory) to CF (change folder) in windows 8

 

Pete, That post took me back to CP/M days with users on a floppy
