• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

it just remains in my C: drive

[devout void]

Can you see E:\ drive in the "My PC" File Explorer?

[balmy matrix]

C: is in This PC

[lyric umbra]

press "This PC"

[devout void]

Strange

[simple brook]

is this a USB

[balmy matrix]

yeah

[lyric umbra]

press here and type "cmd" and see what happens

[balmy matrix]

i mentioned that

[balmy matrix]

dude thank you

[plucky osprey]

when you want to change to a new drive, just use the drive letter., e.g.
c:\> E:

[balmy matrix]

it opened CMD in that directory

[devout void]

Try this

cd C:\

then

cd E:\

I guess that works too

[simple brook]

because this is a usb. i dont think that would be something that could be cd?

[devout void]

I'm sure it can

[balmy matrix]

its where i put all my python stuff so i can take it around with me

[simple brook]

is it part of file hierarchy

[devout void]

I think I vaguely remember CMD can be finicky when it comes to cd

[devout void]

You should practice git and push your coding projects up on Github or BitBucket or Gitlab

I used to carry USB drives everywhere I go too, until it got infected with a virus a few times and I keep losing my work through it...

[balmy matrix]

I never truly understood what Github was?

[balmy matrix]

Howd it get infected?

[simple brook]

how

[devout void]

Think of it as 2 things.

1. You can backup your code there. So if your machine and drive gets screwed somehow, your projects are safe in the cloud.
2. Its an easy way to share your project with anyone. Just add share or collaborator permissions

[balmy matrix]

I might do this when I get my PC

I am convinced my laptop has some sort of malware, even though malwarebytes tells me its uninfected

[devout void]

IIRC, one of the work machines I had to service with didn't have their antivirus running. So I went to another machine, I noticed all of my files went "hidden"

[balmy matrix]

Surely you could've taken action against the company lmao

[devout void]

Its hardly much work loss

Just a bit annoying that I have to clean my drive and reset it up again

[balmy matrix]

once ive gotten my pc

im gonna completely factory reset my laptop

hopefully to clean it off any malware lurking

and have a fresh start

[polar oasis]

You have to add /d to change the drive, so it would be cd /d E:
