Changing the default drive

To change the default drive, type the letter of the drive you
want to change to, followed by a colon. Then press Enter. For
example, to change the default from A to C, type the following
and press Enter:

MS-DOS acknowledges the change by displaying the command
prompt 

C>. 

Changing to a new drive is also called logging onto

that drive.

If you want to access a program or file on another drive without

first changing the default drive, type the drive designator along
with the filename. For example, if you are logged onto drive A
and want to use a file named PROGRAM on drive B, you

would type the following:

B:PROGRAM

MS-DOS loads and executes the file named PROGRAM from

drive B, but stays logged onto drive A.

Each MS-DOS command is either internal or external. Internal

commands are commands that are built into 

he used at any time once 

External commands are stored on your system diskettes as

program files.

If you display a directory of the files on your MS-DOS

diskettes, you see the names of the external commands but not

the internal ones. The following lists show which external
commands are on which diskette.
