Going back to the days of DOS, there's a separate "current directory" for each drive. cd D:\foldername changes D:'s current directory to the foldername specified, but does not change the fact that you're still working on the C: drive.
What you want is simple:
D:
Here you can see how the "separate current directory for each drive" thing works:
C:\Users\coneslayer>e:
E:\>c:
C:\Users\coneslayer>cd e:\software
C:\Users\coneslayer>e:
e:\Software>

Afraid this is incorrect. It's true from the days of DOS, but the command line in Windows NT and later is not DOS. In the command line that everyone uses today, you have the /D switch. The /d switch will change the current directory of the specified drive AND change to that directory. The /d switch must be specified before the path. For example:
C:\> cd /d D:\foo\bar\
D:\foo\bar\>

d:

Use
cd /D D:
to do this. You can specify paths also.
