I am using windows 7. I want to save a file to my E:\ drive, in no specific folder, just E:\ . How would I go about doing that?

Save as > select E:\ > hit save

Desktop: Intel i5-3570K (stock) | Asus Sabertooth Z77 | G.Skill RipJaw 16GB 1600MHz | Samsung 840 120GB | EVGA GTX 680 SC+ 2GB | Fractal Design R4 | Windows 8 Pro (soon to have dual boot Mac OS X)

Why do you want to do it through CMD?
long story. Basically my file explorer doesn't see the drive because it isn't formatted properly and by saving a file to it, it will be.

If the above is true, command prompt write will also fail. Any way, just redirect some command out to E:

 

 

dir > e:\file.txt
