You can create any directory under any directory in the hard disk or floppy disk. The command to create a new directory is MKDIR or MD. To create a new directory, go through the following steps:

1. Select the drive where you wish to create a new directory.

2. If you want to create the new directory at the root level, select the root directory with the command CD\ or CHDIR\. Otherwise use the CD or CHDIR command to select the desired directory where you wish to select the root directory where wish to create a new directory.

3. Use the MKDIR or MD command.

If the prompt showing 'C :\>', type C: and press the Enter key to select drives C.

Type CD\WORD and the press the Enter key to change the current directory to C:\word. Of course, if your hard disk does not contain the directory c:\word, you would get a message "Invalid Directory".
