If you use:

:NERDTree d:\

in the NERDTree window you will see it works. But now if you open(and edit) a file with NERDTree you will find it can not be saved, because the current working directory has not changed'; it is still in the old directory!

So if you want change the drive in NERDTree I advise you to perform the following 2 steps:

cd drive:\

:NERDTree .

where drive is the drive letter you want to change to, and . means change the NERDTree directory to the current working directory.

Now you can use NERDTree opening (or editing)the file in new directory now.
