How can I change in command prompt directory from C:\ to F:\?

I tried using cd command but when i did %26quot;cd F:\ %26quot; or %26quot;cd F%26quot;it doesn%26#039;t work as it sends me back to C:\





Thx|||cd is %26#039;change directory%26#039;... not %26#039;change drive%26#039;





Just type





%26quot;F:%26quot; and press ENTER|||C:\%26gt; F: %26lt;Enter%26gt;|||write %26quot;F:%26quot; and hit %26lt;enter%26gt;





this should take you to drive f:\





Cheers...|||jus type in f: (f and colon) then enter|||Just type F:\ at your command prompt and hit enter. Then you can use the %26#039;cd%26#039; command to open up whatever directories you have on the %26#039;F%26#039; drive





The %26#039;cd%26#039; command only works for changing directories within the current drive, therefore you can not jump drives using that command.|||If you are in dos prompt and the current directory is %26#039;c:%26#039;, you must put f: only to change to %26#039;f:%26#039; directory, like this:





Your command:


c:\%26gt;f:


Dos response:


f:\%26gt;





This Is what you want?

See my site:


http://www1.webng.com/nbittencourt/index鈥?/a>|||If u want to access your F: drive then simply type


f: (enter)





Or if you want to change your default prompt to f: then u need to type:


prompt f:|||C:\%26gt; F: %26lt;Enter%26gt;|||From memory %26#039;DIR F:%26#039; should work. (no quotes)





Writing %26#039;F:%26#039; only works for Windows versions which use MS-DOS for a command prompt. Examples include Win95, Win98, Win98SE, possibly ME).





The NT versions have a different command prompt program, which attempts to resolve the potential security issues with MS-DOS. NT versions of windows include NT4, 2000, XP, Vista.
