Windows CMD command for accessing usb?

I have tried googling it but couldn't find it. I know the command for it is cd /media for linux but have no idea what it is for Windows.I also tried the dir command but couldn't find anything related to media or usb.

Solution

  • You can access the USB drive by its drive letter. To know the drive letter you can run this command:

    C:\>wmic logicaldisk where drivetype=2 get deviceid, volumename, description

    From here you will get the drive letter (Device ID) of your USB drive.

    For example if its F: then run the following command in command prompt to see its contents:

    C:\> F:

F:\> dir
