This may be a stupid question, and I think I have looked elsewhere to find the answer... Might be a path issue, but when I open the command line and type from the C:\>:

cd D:\

I cannot get to the D drive. Even if I type:

cd D:\<folder name>

The command.exe will auto-complete the line with the tab key, so it knows where I'm at. It just doesn't print to screen the result or actually get me there. This problem exists for the network drives as well.

Now, if I use the chdir (cd) command like this:

chdir D: or cd d:

I get the print out of the D:\ below the command but it still says I'm in the C:\.

I feel like I'm missing something simple.
