I am having a problem in the cmd prompt changing to a directory on a different drive. Either I haven't found any suitable answers for this particular scenario or I'm not searching with the correct terms. Here is the scenario... I am on C:\ and I want to change to a directory say E:\specific\directory.
Typing cd \newfolder will move you to a new folder relative to the drive root (for example, from C:\Windows\System32 to C:\Users\YourName, type cd \Users\YourName). Typing cd /d d:\temp will change drives and directories in one operation (for instance, from C:\Users to D:\temp) Type cd /? at the command prompt for more options.
40. Using cd / chdir you cannot change the current working directory (CWD) to one on a different drive unless first switching drives (2 steps) or including the /d switch as part of your command (1 step). cd /? will display the command's help text. From C:\Users\jessy to E:\MyData. 2 STEPS.
55. You need to make sure that the drive is mapped under the user which is running the command prompt. Try typing net use U: and see what info it gives you. If it's not showing the drive as being mapped, try remapping the drive (net use U: \\servername\share\path\). You can also try changing directories by using cd /d U:, rather than just U:.
In the command line that everyone uses today, you have the /D switch. The /d switch will change the current directory of the specified drive AND change to that directory. The /d switch must be specified before the path. For example: C:\> cd /d D:\foo\bar\. D:\foo\bar\>.
7. cd [drive]:\directory will change the current directory “context” on that drive but won’t change to that drive itself. If you subsequently just type [drive]:, it’ll change to that drive and remember the directory you previously “cd”’ed into. CMD has always behaved like this.
You can use takeown for this. Enables an administrator to recover access to a file that previously was denied, by making the administrator the owner of the file. Example: takeown /r /d y /f *. Where: /r: Is a recursive operation on all files in the specified directory and subdirectories. /d: Suppresses the confirmation prompt that is displayed ...
CMD cd to other drives except C:\ not working. I'm trying to run a program located on an external USB disk using the Windows command prompt. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit (running in VMWare Workstation 8.0.) Here's what happens: I plug in the USB disk and it appears as drive letter 'E' in My Computer. I launch cmd from the start menu.
The permission system on Windows is called ACL. To edit the ACL list use. cacls on Windows prior to Vista. For example to add Read-Only permission to myfile.txt. CACLS myfile.txt /E /G "Power Users":R. icacls on Windows Vista and up. For example to grant the group FileAdmins 'Delete' and 'Write DAC' permissions to C:\demo\example:
Step 2. Open the Command Prompt Properties and change the "Start In" Property Right-Click on "Command Prompt" icon, select "Properties", and edit the "Start In" property to your desired path. I used "C:\" as an example. When starting the command prompt, the default path will be the new path you've specified earlier.
