i am in ms DOS and it appears A:
how do I change to C: ?
I typed cd\ and then c: but don't work
please help
thanks a lot
More info please.

Have you booted from a floppy disk to get to A:? If so what are your trying to do?
What OS are you trying to access - if XP what file system?
Have you installed DOS on the harddisk?

What are you trying to achieve?
wow, jsut my luck I was right about to ask the exact same question.

Really all im trying to do is restart my COMPUTER into a command prompt only mode, but I have windows XP (sp2)

I tired teh hold f8 thing, but there is no pure command prompt mode on the list, the closest thing is safe mode with command prompt, which DOESNT cut it.

I TRIED to use a boot disc, but when I use that I can't get out of the A:

What do i dooooooooo?ah nevermind i dont need to know anymore, id erase my post but i cant since im not registered. Thanks anyways!Well Gabe if you really want C: at the command prompt hit start/run and enter cmd in the box. If you then want full screen hold Alt and hit enter (and again to minimise when you want to to go back)

Good luckHi Dina3 or Gabes n every1,

the command to change directory in DOS is :
c:

Not cd.

Cheers
