Title: How to change diskdrive A: to B: in Win 3.11 WFW
Post by: MIRKOSOFT on October 01, 2011, 06:20:31 AM

Hi!

I added to my Win 3.11 WFW USB floppy which works as A: and after starting Windows is original A: drive not accessible.

So, I want to ask:

HOW TO CHANGE ORIGINAL FLOPPY DISK LETTER A: to B: ?

Many thanks for every help.

You will need to edit the mapping of the USB drive to B: vs A:, but it can be any available drive letter including Z:

Similar to mounting of a USB CD ROM with devicehigh=usbcd2.sys /d:USBCD001 where d: is the D: drive, you should be able to find the mounting instruction for this USB floppy and find a reference to it currently mounting to A:, then set this to B: and save the config file, although sometimes A: and B: are reserved in which you need to set it to say E: if you have a C: HD and D: CD-ROM.
