`cd` doesn't change directory in Windows 7 [duplicate]
Solution 1:
You have to use just d:
, not cd d:\
EDIT: it is also possible to use cd /d d:
to change drives using cd
Solution 2:
Windows tracks a separate working directory for each drive. You are currently on the 'C' drive in the working directory '\'. When you type cd d:\
it changes your working directory for the 'D' drive to '\' and has no effect on your C drive working directory. To change drives, just type D:
. You can change both at the same time with the /d
parameter to cd
.
Solution 3:
It should be noted that pushd
(e.g. pushd D:\
) will always change drives.
