Hey Scotty!
--> C:\Users\Scotty>cd D:\JAVA
This line won't take u to the D:\JAVA location. Instead, it will still be in C:\Users\Scotty.
You need to first go into the D drive by giving
C:\Users\Scotty>D:
and then give the command "cd JAVA"
Now that you are in the required folder. you can directly give
"javac simple.java" followed by
"java simple"
It should solve the problem
