Cool Entering directories structured above user.

I wish to enter directories which are on the HD but not part of the user hierarchy and have access to the contents of an external HD. To an advanced user this is probably a stupid question but I experimented with ~, cd, . and.. to no avail. I did check for a suitable command but couldn't find one. How does one cd up the hierarchical chain?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank
