New Drive Won't Work -- UNC paths are not supported.

[jim evans]

I recently installed a new drive. It is drive F:. When I try to run
batch files or go to the command line in this drive I get this error
message:

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

What's a UNC path???? It shows up in My Computer just like drive C:

This drive is of little use to me this way. How do I make the system
recognize the drive and work properly with it?

That is not a whole error message. Please post a complete message and a
command you have executed. If you need to use UNC, try this approach:
Start -> Run -> cmd /c \\server\share\batch

I cannot explain this but this morning the error message has changed.
When I try to use the Microsoft Power Toy "Open Command Window Here"
on any folder in the drive I get the following error message. (This
is the entire message)

The system cannot find the path specified.
'Other' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
