| LASTDRIVE |
|
| Specifies the maximum number of drives you can access. You can use this |
| command only in your CONFIG.SYS file. |
|
| The value you specify represents the last valid drive MS-DOS is to |
| recognize. |
|
| Syntax |
|
| LASTDRIVE=x |
|
| Parameter |
|
| x |
| Specifies a drive letter in the range A through Z. |
|
|
| LASTDRIVE--Notes |
|
| Default setting |
|
| If you do not use the LASTDRIVE command, the default value is the letter |
| following the last one in use. For example, if you are using drives A and C, |
| the default value is D. |
|
| Effect on memory |
|
| MS-DOS allocates a data structure in memory for each drive specified by |
| LASTDRIVE, so you should not specify more drives than are necessary. |
|
|
| LASTDRIVE--Example |
|
| To set the last drive to M, giving your computer access to 13 drives, you |
| would include the following command in your CONFIG.SYS file: |
|
| lastdrive=m |
