Removable Drive: Drive Letter

[Rich H]

Hi,

The computer I work on is on a network, I have Win95 (OSR1) installed and the peripherals I have on the computer is a CD-ROM drive and an external zip drive.

When the computer is booted, the network takes over drive letters F,G,and S-Z. The hard disk I have is partitioned into 4 disks C,D,E (and F which I can't use due to the network drive), the CD-ROM takes H: and the removable drive is allocated G: (which also I cannot use)

Is there any command that I can place in a startup file which will default the Zip drive letter to a letter between G: and S: ?
In control panel the drive letter option is greyed out.

To get round this option I can right-click on the G: network drive and disconnect it, but this is inconvenient if I need to use something on it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might help.

Ask your Sys Admin to remove the G drive from your profile. Or you could try adding this line to your autoexec.bat file:

net use \\servername\volumename /delete
(replace server and vol name with the info for the G drive)

Thanks,

Yeah I could try that, but the problem is I need the G network drive also. The ideal solution would be to set the Zip drive to an unused drive letter.

Either way I guess a trip to the sys admin is in order...ho-hum!
