accessing slave drive in cmd?

can it be done? when i pull up command console i get C:/ drive and want to access E:/. but if i try to switch with the ways i know it wont let me do it. are there any ways that im not trying?

 

When using the command console, unless you've pre-configured it using gpedit or regedit, I believe you can only access the the windows folder and it's subfolders, cmdcons folder, system root folder and your cdrom drives. I'll see what I can find about it but that's what I seem to remember about it.

 

when i type e:\ its not recongnizable. strange i though i could do that too.

 

Just to see what happen with something that I had not thought too much about I tried this.

In CMD if I typed H:/ or H:\ it would not work. But if I just typed H: it worked.

Much to my surprise I was even able to get to drive I: ( the CDROM )

driveletter: is the standard DOS way to change the drive and WinXP follows it.

 

If you ran cmd from start>run you should be able to access any drive. Try booting to the recovery console on the WinXP cd. I think you'll find it a bit different.

 

ya just the drive letter and semi colin works, forgot bout that one.

 

Ok, guess I misunderstood. I took "command console" to mean you were booting to it rather than start>run>cmd. Sorry about the confusion.
