Changing the Default Drive
When you see the A) prompt, you know that
MS-DOS is operating from drive A and you can now
enter a command.
However, if you want to run a program or find a file
on a different drive, you must specify that drive. Y
OU
can do this by including the drive descriptor with the
filename or by logging onto that drive. To log onto
drive B, follow these steps:
1. At the A) prompt, type:
B:
Be sure to type the colon.
2. Press
Enter.
Your screen now displays the B) prompt. This means
that MS-DOS is now using drive B. The system
continues to read from drive B, which is now the
default drive, until you log back onto drive A.
