How do you type for hard drive path

[Woodcrest64]

I'm trying to change the directory path in a program.

In windows I use to type c:/directoryname/directoryname/

In OSX the drives have names so do I type "drive_name/directoryname/directoryname/ ??

OSX is like any other Unix. All drives are mounted into a single, unified, tree with a root at /. The boot drive is mounted at /. Any other drive will be, unless you have done something odd, mounted in /Volumes/

In Terminal, if you

ls /Volumes

you'll see all of your drives. You can then cd to one of them (or just cd directly - no need to list the volumes first). For example:

cd /Volumes/My\ Other\ Drive

Spaces are replaced by '\ '. Or you can put the whole thing in quotes:

cd /Volumes/"My Other Drive"

If the drive name has no spaces, then you'd just use the name:

cd /Volumes/MyOtherDrive

via "mac os x terminal change to another volume"
