Default MS Dos dont see 3rd Partition

Yes, I'm booted from raw dos. I always start my Win98 computer in raw
dos, so I can access my very old Dos based "Rapid File" database, which
contains all my phone contacts. That way I dont have to wait for Windows
to load to get a phone number. All I have to do is type "WIN" to start
windows, which is fine!

Anyhow, the problem is in raw dos!


With MSDOS, you should be looking at the two configuration
files for evidence.

My LASTDRIVE is set as Z. I've done that since the Windows 3.x days, (or
was it Win95???). Because I always have used many partitions. I always
configure CD or DVD drives as drive O. (they're round like a letter
"O"). that way the dont get stuck in between drive partitions and
confuse things.
