The odds are very good the schema isn't where you are telling the parser 
to look. Is the schema file really at the top level of your c: drive?

Locate the schema file in a file explorer window. If the path in the 
window is something like C:\a\b then the correct URI is 
"file:///c:/a/b/cd.xsd".

This is an absolute URI. You can also specify it as a relative URI, 
e.g., if the schema is in the same folder as the document, it's relative 
URI is simply "cd.xsd". If it's one folder up, the URI is "../cd.xsd". Etc.

I can't recommend trying out a bunch of invalid URI specifications on 
the theory the parser may be buggy. Figure out a valid one and use that.
