A Few Questions......
How do u go back a directory in the terminal, such as you start in the users folder, so how would you get to the Macintosh HD?
How do you switch to another Hard Disk?:confused:
 
It seems like you're going to need to read quite a bit, answering question by question will take years. Try these:

command line tutorial
terminal basics
OS X Guidebook2

But to answer your questions to get you going:
To move up a directory, type "cd .." (without the quotes). There is also an alias set up "..", so if you type two periods, it will bring you up one directory.
To switch to another drive/partition type "cd /Volumes/Drivename", "Volumes", like everything else in the command line, is case sensitive and by "Drivename" I mean the name of the drive or partition you're trying to get to.
 
Thanx man i really couldnt find any tutorials until u showed me the light.........HOLALUYA!:D
 
To go back a directory, simply type:

cd -

and it will take you back to the directory you were in previous to your current one.
