Can’t change current working directory to external drive in Windows

I have a Linux host and a WindowsServer2008 guest. In this guest, if I try to

cd E:/

(same as E:\ )

I can't (still in my "home"). See :

Am I missing something or there's a problem somewhere ?

In Windows you just enter the drive name. So instead of cd E:\ you would just enter E:.

cmds cd normally allows you to change only within current drive. If you want to switch drive at the same time, you'd have to use /d switch: cd /d e:\ would work. And you should use backslash \ instead of forward slash / for paths :-)
