Hello,
does anyone know if it’s possible to explore a CD via the command prompt?

    Hello,
    Yes, we can.
    You need to enter the command "cd" (for "change directory"), followed by the letter corresponding to the CD drive.
    If your CD drive has the letter D:, you should enter "cd d:".

    (Strange, I just tested it at home and when I do "cd d:", it goes to D: and immediately returns to C:; if I do "dir d:", it correctly lists the content of D:.)

      Hi

      cd /d D:

      or

      cd /d D:\

      Personally, I type notepad or notepad.exe, then File and the Open... Ctrl+O, then I display "All Files (*.*)" and I manipulate the files with the right click. Open "Computer" on the left, from a recovery console ... Right Shift + F10 to open a command prompt (cd or dvd Windows XP / Vista / 7).

    you try d: so you type d: if it doesn't work e: etc. when the prompt gives you the typed letter for example d:> you type dir and you check if it corresponds to cd, otherwise you continue with the next letter. and that's it!!

      Oh yes, you shouldn't have written "cd", but just the drive letter directly, thanks (at the same time, I hardly ever use cmd).
      However, it would be easier to check in My Computer which letter the CD drive has rather than guessing.
