ERROR : create a file in c disk by cmd in windows?

Question

When i write nul.> on cmd I get:

Access is denied.

How can I make a file on the C drive? I tried to use the echo.> command but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

The root of the system drive has restricted access, requiring elevated permissions to write to it. The same is true of some subfolders.

To create a file on the C drive therefore, you should create it in a subfolder to which you have access.

Answer 2

At the beginning open the command prompt "Run as administrator" and press enter for each line..

1. cd\
2. type nul > hellofile.txt
3. echo.>hellofile.txt
