Note that if you change from one drive to another and then try

to access a file on the previous drive, MS-DOS remembers

which was the default directory when you were last logged onto

that drive. For example, suppose the last time you were logged

onto drive C, the default directory was the root directory. Now
you are logged onto drive A and enter the following command

to delete the file JEAN1204.DOC:

DEL C:JEAN1204.DOC

MS-DOS tries to find the file you want in the root directory of
drive C, but the file is not there and an error message appears
on the screen. For this case, you would need to enter the
complete pathname as in the previous example.

If you do not know what the default directory on another drive

is, it is a good idea to include the full pathname whether you

need it or not. You can never give MS-DOS too much

information.

If you want to change to another directory on another drive,

just include the drive designator in the command-like this,
for example:

CD C:\WORDPROC\PERSONAL
