- I have a VDM I used to connect to our system via TCP/IP. Everything is
- fine in the box until I attempt to run a program called LOGIN (based on
- a program from IBM). One of the functions of this program is to create
- a virtual drive on the PC for a network "drive."
-
- When I attempt to use this program, it tells me that all drives are in
- use. Changing DOS_LASTDRIVE to something less than Z does not help.
- Using LASTDRIVE in the VDM's CONFIG.SYS does not help.
-
- I am told this is how the program works to find a free drive: It looks
- at LASTDRIVE. If it's Z or non-existent, it goes back and looks at each
- drive letter until it finds one that isn't in use. You can also specify
- a drive. If I do specify a drive, I'll still get the DRIVE IN USE error.
-
- Is there anyway in a VDM to force it to not allocate those drives? I am
- using FSFILTER.SYS. Maybe some FSACCESS command?
-
- Thanks, Jeff.
