Divardo Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I was attempting to create a symbolic link in a folder on the d drive but can't seem to be able to change on to that drive in the command prompt. I was able to do it on the c drive as a test run using cd and the destination, but not having much luck with changing drives. Any ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H. Veteran Posted February 20, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 20, 2008 wait, you mean like going from C drive to D drive? EG: You'll be here: C:\> and you want to be: D:\> Hehe - i feel so old for knowing that... seems like the other guys already replied before i got a chance to hit submit... walked away :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionVoltss Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 A: would take you to floppy, C: would be first hard disk. cd windows would take you to the directory windows on the current drive cd\ will take u back a folder DIR /p will list the contents of the directory in a page and HELP.

ManMountain Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) For a true symbolic link, drop to a command prompt and try along the lines of: cd \ mkdir d:\DivardoWasHere mklink /d divardo d:\DivardoWasHere Accessing divardo on C: via command line or in Windows Explorer points to D:\DivardoWasHere. In the above screenshot, you can clearly see the symbolic link name "mm" redirects to a folder on another drive. Of course, this also applies to moving or copying files. For example if you where at the command line @ root of C: and had a ton of .jpg files in C:\Pictures you could simply type copy c:\Pictures\*.jpg \divardo . Result would be all files would actually be copied to D:\DivardoWasHere. (Edit: To remove the symbolic link, from root of C:\, you would enter rmdir \divardo and to wipe the D:\DivardoWasHere you would enter rmdir /s d:\DivardoWasHere).
