Windows 7 Install command prompt can't access the C drive

The command cd c: just shows the current directory in the C drive.

To change to the C drive, use either of the following commands:

cd /d c:

c:

You don't change drives with CD, that's for Changing Directories.

To switch to another drive you just type C: (for example) and hit enter. Or if you really want to use CD to switch directories AND drive you can use CD /D C:\.

Also, if doing it one of these ways still doesn't work, ensure you have the driver loaded for you controller (AHCI, RAID or whatnot) so that setup can see the drive.

OK, figured this out. After going to back into the windows installer and trying to load the drivers for my ssd I noticed that my c drive is actually showing up as the d drive in the windows install and the c drive was showing as a system reserved/recovery drive. A little random...

Also worth noting that you can't actually boot win7 pro from a vhd, what IT pro would want to do that? Its only available for ultimate and enterprise versions.
