c:\
md foldername

I think you meant

cd\
md folder_name

or you can just open a DOS prompt

md \folder_name

Its possible c: isnt the default drive when you open a dos prompt so it would be:

c:
cd\
md or mkdir <foldername>

you're all wrong :-)

why not just

md c:\folder_name

works regardless of what directory you're in.

Is this a TRUE DOS prompt? In other words, have you booted from a DOS disk?

If so you should remember two things:

1. DOS is restricted to 8.3 filenames. So typing "md folder_name" will yield a directory called "FOLDER_N".

2. DOS only supports FAT16 formatted hard drives (2 GB maximum partition size).

umm.... all of you guys got it wrong....it should be...

format c: /q /u /autotest

Hmm its a joke... bad stuff'll happen...m'okay?... would'nt work anyways... unless you're booted straight into DOS.... I'd go with leebear's command.... he's the l33t h@x0r .... the rest of the above are script kiddies.... :D

LeeBear is right, that is the correct answer :-0
