I need to change to a directory named "E & A" Everytime I do a command line of cd E & A, it says that A is not recognized as an internal or external command. Is there something special I need to know about changing to a directory with an & sign in it?
 
It's the spaces, not the &.

cd "E & A"

As said above -- you need quotes.

Another trick (if it's modern "DOS") -- just type CD E and then hit tab, and it will autofill. You'll notice it'll add the quotes because spaces look like extra paramaters to the CD command.
