Thanks to all who replied. cd c:\ gave me the C:\ prompt that I was looking

Re: How do you get a C:\ prompt in Windows XP?

[Thom Park]

Hi,

not sure what you're trying to do.

If you're trying to get to C:\, you have to do it in two steps:

1. set your default device to c:  

C:

2. set your directory to the top level  \:

cd \

you should now be in the C:\ directory

If you're simply trying to get a command prompt,
then just use start->run and enter cmd.exe
for an XP command window or
start->run and enter command.com for a DOS prompt.

Agreedavoid spaces in pathnames if you can.

As an aside, there is no reason to switch directories to start Tomcat.
   

You
 

can do so by typing something like c:\tomcat\bin\startup.bat from any
command prompt in Windows.
