Can't change current working directory to external drive in Windows
- by Tom
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.
I notice the prompt
displays C:\Users\Tom>
I type cd E:\
I notice the prompt displays
C:\Users\Tom> (cd also yields C:\Users\Tom>)
I can explore the drive using explorer.exe just fine, and it is connected according to VMWare Workstation. What am I doing wrong?
