Terminal folder name entry problems
 
I'm trying to change folders on my windows partition in the terminal. When I get to folders with spaces in the name (Documents and Settings) I cannot get linux to change into them. I've tried underscoring where there are spaces, but this doesn't work. How do I get these folders opened?

thanks

two options either type :
cd Documents\ and\ Settings

or :
cd "Documents and Settings"
