thanks doan

now i'm having problems changing diretories... i can use "dir" to see the contents of another drive but i can't "cd" to it. any ideas?

or simply md (instead of mkdir)



use cd ( cd folder )

use quotes if the folder name has a space in it;

cd "my documents"

Well you can't use CD to change to a different drive.

Say you are on C:\>

CD windows will get you to

C:\WINDOWS>

If you want to go to D:\Files you need to type this:

d:
cd files

If you just typed CD d:\files - it would set the directory on the D: drive to Files so that when you changed to the drive (by typing D: ) then you would already be in the files folder on D:.

i think OdiN hit the nail on the head as far as my situation... i'll try to remember that about drives.
