SwapDrv - Copyright (c) 1994 Robert Muchsel. All rights reserved.
This free utility swaps DOS drive letters.
SWAPDRV D F
swaps drives D and F.
You CANNOT swap CD-ROM drive letters. Use MSCDEX /L:x instead, where
x is the desired drive letter.
SwapDrv uses NO DOS memory and can be run several times.
SwapDrv supports MSDOS 3.1 or better (tested under DOS 3.1, 3.2, 3.3,
4.0, 5.0, 6.x and Novell DOS 7).
DR DOS 3.41 or OS/2 MDOS will NOT work.
Caution!
--------
Some low-level utilities might get confused. This applies to diagnosis
software and disk cache software.
MS SmartDrive: To allow caching of swapped drive letters, SwapDrv must
be run first, then SmartDrv.
Examples
--------
- Change drive letter of new hard drive to restore old order:
First drive Second drive
+----------+ +----------+
| C E | | D |
+----------+ +----------+
SWAPDRV D E
- Swap DOS drive letters to allow same drive letters as under OS/2.
+--------------------------------+
| C - D E - F | DOS
| c d e f g h | OS/2
| FAT HPFS FAT FAT HPFS FAT |
