Let me explain the actual task.  I have FreeDOS and two each Win and 
OS/2.  Two each because they both change and I don't get rid of one OS 
or app until I believe the new is ready to replace the old.  I also 
maintain two copies of the GUI OSs for redundancy and maintenance.

So the first HDD has five boot partitions.  The first two partitions on 
the second HDD are apps and data.  I have apps with data that I share 
between OS/2 and Win, and DOS apps with data that I run under all three 
OSs.  Run objects point to apps and apps point to data.

That means all OSs must at least see the same drive letters for the app 
and data partitions.  Win lets me play with drive letters and I do. 
OS/2 has the option, but for me there is a trade off and I don't use the 
option, but don't really need it.  I do have OS/2 and Win with NTFS and 
HPFS drivers to see each other.

That leaves DOS.  It is not so much that I need DOS to work with NTFS or 
HPFS, I just need to get drive letters assigned prior to the apps and 
data partitions.

As for the DVDs.  In OS/2 and Win I have them as X&Y.  If there is a way 
to get FreeDOS to assign the same letters I would appreciate a cookbook.

I have a NTFS4DOS.EXE dated 8June2004 size 93.819 but have not had time 
to try it.

TY
Ray
