Solve : How to change FDD letter A: to B:?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hi!<br/><br/>I have now in MS-DOS USB FDD. System it recognized as drive A:<br/>So, my drive in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computer-243299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTER">COMPUTER</a> is not accessilble 'cause had also letter A:<br/><br/>So, please help me how to change A: to B: on computer drive.<br/>I can to deactivate driver of USB FDD temporarily, when will have letter B:, I turn on also USB driver and will have 2 FDDs.<br/><br/>Thanks for every help.<br/><br/>MiroWhy does it need to be B: ? ?<br/>I believe this can only be done with 2 floppy drives present...<br/>But i've been wrong before...Either use the Floppy Drive Swap option in the BIOS, or, more likely to work, change the parameters used with the USB floppy device driver to change the drive letter.<br/><br/>Did you try this:<br/>B:<br/>'insert disk for B: and hit enter.'<br/><br/>Does it not do that?<br/>No <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/choices-916015" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHOICES">CHOICES</a> there...<br/>B: is not present.<br/>My old computer is Compaq. Somebody writes to me that it has BIOS on little partition on HDD... and this was changed.<br/>So, I can't access BIOS.<br/><br/>Miro Quote from: MIRKOSOFT on February 21, 2010, 05:23:50 PM</p><blockquote>No choices there...<br/>B: is not present.<br/>My old computer is Compaq.

With TXT extension.<br/><br/>[Saving space, attachment <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/deleted-947557" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DELETED">DELETED</a> by admin]hmm, well from what I can tell your USB floppy is being accessed through the usbaspi1.sys driver:<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>device=c:\dos\usbaspi1.sys  /v /u<br/>After some searching, I was able to find what I believe are the switches for this driver:<br/> Quote<blockquote>device=[{path}]USBASPI.SYS [/e] [/o] [/u] [/w] [/v] [/l[=n]] [/f] /r] [/slow] [/nocbc] [/norst] [/noprt]<br/><br/>The driver scans all 3 USB controller specs by default, but you can limit which controllers are enabled using these switches:<br/>/e EHCI spec (USB 2.0)<br/>/o OHCI spec (MS/NEC/VIA USB 1.x)<br/>/u UHCI spec (<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/intel-517007" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INTEL">INTEL</a> USB 1.x) <br/><br/>These switches modify the driver actions<br/>/w Wait, displays prompt message for swapping/attaching USB devices<br/>/v Verbose, shows detailed status messages - VERY USEFUL<br/>/l[=n] LUN, specifies the highest LUN # to be attached to device ID (default=0)<br/>/r R?, to access also USB FDD. Note RAMFD.SYS may be needed in some cases.<br/>/slow Slow-mode, {?probably to force slow mode on USB2.0 connections?)<br/><br/><br/><br/>I still have no idea about these switches due to a limited test facility so please fell free to send me results of your experiments. I did put my guesses in {?} here:<br/>/nocbc {no card <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bus-404097" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUS">BUS</a> controller?}<br/>/norst {no reset?}<br/>/noprt {not a portable? no printer?}<br/>/f {floppy? fast?} <br/></blockquote> <br/>The most immediately obvious issue here is that there is nothing done to provide the driver with a drive letter, nor a facility to do so. Only thing I can guess at this point is to try the /f switch.<br/><br/>Thanks.<br/><br/>I'll try later, here's 1:56am, but I'll report.<br/><br/>MiroI think I let it like it is now.<br/><br/>Standard FDD I'll use to boot from diskette - 'cause bedore loading USB driver is active, after not and has letter A:<br/>USB FDD I'll use to work - standard FDD is inactive and USB FDD has letter A:<br/><br/>So, I'm satisfied.<br/><br/>And really thanks for help and patience.<br/><br/>Miro</body></html>
