If you want to do these steps manually then open Power-Shell or CMD and then ->

cd ../../../../../../../../../ ( this command will take you back to the number of directories and probably you'll end up with the main disk which will be just C:\> or D:\>)

if you want to navigate or change from one disk to another for example if you want to go from disk C to disk D then you can perform this ->

if you want the file hash in any other Algorithm then follow this

Get-FileHash <file-name-here-without-brackets> -Algorithm <name-of-the-algo-without-brackets>

example ->

For Command Prompt ->
