Did you format and assign drive letters to the partitions?

Don't use the CD command. Simply enter the drive letter, D:
,E:, etc. , at the prompt and hit Enter. The prompt should
change to the drive you want to access.

Good luck

Some confusion - you can "cd" - change directory- via Start>Run>CMD> "cd
AJR or cd\AJR (as neccessary).

You cannot change, or access "partitions" via "cd"- otherwise note
nepatsfan's reply.

Hey!,

Thanks guys for helping out. I got through with nepatsfan's tip. I'm
actually starting out in Java, so the obvious confusions. Thanks for the
extra tips and quickly responding.

Hi Dian,
CD = Change Directory. The partitions you created are *not* directories
therefore you cannot access them using the CD command.. Once formatted they
are treated the same as separate drives. To access the drive/"partitions"
you created from the Command Prompt type the letter of the drive followed by
a colon. Example C:\>g: <Enter> will put you on the "G" drive.

If you have one hard drive (C, the first partition will be designated "D".
The second partition will be "E" and so on. Any drives other than recognized
hard drives will be moved up the alphabet to accommodate the partitions you
created. It becomes just a bit more complex when you add partitions to two
or more hard drives. The hard drives are assigned letters C, D, E, and so
on. partitions you create on those hard drives are assigned letters
beginning after the last letter assigned to the hard drives. Example three
hard drives are assigned C, D, and E. should you create one partition on
each HD the partitions will be assigned letters F, G, and H. It's been a
long time since I worked in a pure DOS environment that is what I recall.
