    Hello

    We’re going back to the good old days of MS-Dos.
    If your external hard drive is, for example, recognized by the letter E in Windows Explorer, you simply type E: in the command prompt window.

    The contents of the drive will be accessible with the command Dir or Dir /P for a page-by-page display.

    Best regards
