Mapping drive for sql backup

im using the xp_cmdshell command in a query to try to access a mapped drive that i have on a server. example:

Code:

Exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'dir Z:\'

i found that in another forum online and it does not seem to work, i looked in another sql 2008 book, and there was nothing on this as far as synatax.

i tried

Code:

'z:\'
'z:\ \\dcserver\beast'
'\\dcserver\beast'

with no luck.

does this proc work for anyone.
Note: i did enable SQL Server Surface Area Configuration prior.

any help is appreciated.

thx
