CD command not working.

[TobbenTM]

Hi all

Don't know wether it's me doing something wrong or if something has broke.
Whenever I want to navigate to another drive it won't actually change path.
I am able to navigate to another folder within the C: drive, for example C:\Windows, but not to other drives..
Included a picture.

Help.

Well from that snip, it appears you are indeed able to navigate to the other drives D: and K: , whats the problem?

 

[TobbenTM]

Yeah, it shows the drive, but then again it returns to C:\Users\TobbenTM .
Before I can do anything..

At least I thought it would show for example D:\ instead of C:\Users\TobbenTM all the time.

Can you post a snip of the disk management window? Click on Start button, type diskmgmt.msc then hit Enter. Use windows snipping tool to take a snip.

proper syntax is CD C:\

 

[TobbenTM]

Well, found out the problem, figures it's me forgetting that you don't use cd to change drives, only folders.

 

[Bill2]

Oh hang on, you're using the wrong syntax. If you want to change drives just type the drive letter. To change to D:, just type D: .

 

[TobbenTM]

Yeah, what i said.
Stupid me..

 

[mckillwashere]

At least I had the right syntax, wrong time to use it

Adding the /D switch would have made the expected action happen
"CD /D X:\"

Ok, thanks anyways.
