Start, CMD, begins at C:\users\username, how do I start at C:\?

I am at the comment prompt or window in windows 7.
it begins at C:\Users\alienware
I typed CD or cd, and when I hit enter it does nothing. It jumps to the next line with the same command.
How do I get it to start at c:\ so I can go to the directory I want? Thanks

Are you typing

CD C:\ ? Then pressing [ENTER] type C:\ then [ENTER] ?

or,... CD.. takes you to the parent directory, so for some is easier to type it twice to get to the root... old school... cd..=change dir parent dir

Uhhh... maybe my box doesn't know that cause just "CD" puts me in-place, right where I was...

Am I missing something? Even tried CD.. same same

win 7 64 ultimate all updated, etc......

CD.. backs up ONE level, only. CD \ goes to C: root, which I thought was the question. If not, I apologize.
