How to cd to a network drive on Windows 8?

Question

I want to execute a command via the cmd and the folder where I want to do that is a network-mapped drive E:.

enter image description here

Using the cmd, I would like to change to the directory, but getting an error:

C:\>e:
The system cannot find the drive specified.

C:\>cd e:
The system cannot find the drive specified.

C:\>cd /D e:
The system cannot find the drive specified.

C:\>

Searching on SO for similar problems, I came across a post that mentions using pushd:

C:\>pushd /D \\vboxsrv
The network name cannot be found.

Any tips?

Thanks. Is there easy way to move it there or do I have to delete/create? — user3343079, Feb 23 '14 at 11:21
`pushd "\\vboxsrv\share"` <--- assuming you have permissions. — foxidrive, Feb 23 '14 at 12:09
