It's been a few years since I have actively used SUBST. The very few times in recent memory that I tried under FreeDOS, it sadly just didn't work, too buggy. I don't know why. (Kernel regression? PEBKAC?) Unfortunately, there is no current maintainer, and it's dated back to 2002. So I don't know who to point you to for better help. Try re-reading this, just to make sure you know the usage details: http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/subst.htm > My question is this: Is there any way (via ENV variable or other means) to > null the C: drive and have everything point to my F: drive? Although I haven't used it, SRDISK ("UTIL") contains a SRDUMMY.SYS device driver for its own purposes, meant to use up drive letters to get the desired letter as next freely available.
