Solve : Need help accessing a Directory in DOS?

Answer»

I need to know the RIGHT "CD" or "CHDIR" information to get access to a CERTAIN directory in DOS. I have Windows Vista.

Here is the directory I"m trying to get to: mysql5.0.45

See it has them periods in the directory name. When I do "cd mysql5.0.45",
it gives me this error message : "Invalid directory".

Thanks,

ChrisWhat exactly is the name of the direcory, including the whole path ?
Your cd command would then be
cd "c:\the whole complete path\mysql5.0.45"
GrahamTry with the directory in quotes...CD\" mysql5.0.45"I have tried the things listed buy they never worked. Does anybody know of any other ways or some where else I can get help at?it would help if you told us where it lived !

Use windows EXPLORER to navigate to the mysql5.0.45 folder, then copy the full path from the address bar at the top, paste it into a reply and we will be able to help
GrahamC:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45In that case, the following line will take you there

CD /D "C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45"

note the /D PARAMETER, it will even CHANGE drives for you if you arent on the C: drive
