Path 'c:/*' is not under client's root 'C:/P4/'.

I have been working on a project suite and am trying to submit to source control and am getting this error. 



I checked, and my project is not in the 'C:/P4/'. path - however, since I can open it in TC using the path in my attachment, shouldn't I be able to add it to source control?

    This may be a stab in the dark, but Windows (like DOS before it) uses the backslash as the directory delimeter; in your comment, you used the forward-slash as the delimeter.  Could that be preventing your source control software from recognizing the path?

    Perforce clients are only aware of the client root environment.  Make sure you are trying to check in the project suite from the root directory, and not elsewhere.  C:\p4 is the client root, and if you are working in a different directory, the p4 client isn't able to work outside of the C:\p4 directory.
