To access a storage medium after the medium is repaired, formatted, or partitioned, use one of the
following methods:
•
Specify the storage medium name for the command. For example, use
dir flash:/
to display all
files and folders on the flash memory.
•
Use the
cd
command to change to the storage medium before using the command. For
example, use
cd flash:/
to change to the root directory of the flash memory, and then use
dir
to
display all files and folders.
