- Hi,
-
- Recently I decided it would be nice to use the WhereIs command to check for
- a file's location on ALL the drives, rather then one drive at a time. But when
- I tried to use the command to go from one drive to the other on its own, it
- stopped on the frist drive and quit.
-
- Reading another post on here, I got the idea to use the Assign command. Here
- is what I tried...
-
- Assign WI: DH0:
- Assign WI: DH1: add
- Assign WI: DH2: add
- Assign WI: DH3: add
- Assign WI: DH4: add
-
- ..then I typed...
-
- WhereIs WI: *.zip
-
- ..when it was done searching DH0: it quit instead of going onto the next
- drive or doing all drives at the sametime. I figured it would of done one or
- the other. So is there a better way to have this command hunt for files in ALL
- the drives (one after the other) or do I need another command altogether?
-
- Thanks,
-
