What shell are you using and what OS is handling command processing?
For CMD and Windows, you must to double quote the whole path.
For bash and Cygwin, you may use any of the accepted methods: \ , " ",
' ', although it is much more normal, if quoting, to quote the complete 
path, or only backslash quote the spaces and other special characters.
Drive case should make no difference as long as case is ignored on lookup.
