help with windows command prompt CD problem

[babagabble]

hi all,

i only really use linux, but i'm doing some work with windows that necessitates my use of it. i have a flash drive that contains all my code and i use vim as my editor and nasm for my assembler. when i try and cd to the drive letter of the flash drive (M:\ in this case), the path i CDed to is echoed back at me, but the prompt remains at C:\
since i invoke vim, nasm, and gcc from the command line, it really would be a huge pain to have to copy everything over to C:\ and back over and over again

preemptive thanks, any ideas?

Just omit the cd command:

Code: Select all

That does the trick... Don't ask me what idiot thought this was a good idea...

to change to another drive there is no need for the cd command, all it needs to change to the D:\ partition for example is:

Code: Select all

edit:
well played Lundis...next time I will win...
