see Software on the Hard Drive do not start the Boot it's the CMOS
Software that get the ball rolling!

This is preference, boot sequence stuff...

All of which has nothing to do with drive letter assignments.

Win.exe? Command.com on XP?

The OS and the filesystem are not the same thing, just as the boot sequence
and drive letter assignment are not the same thing. There are 16 and 32 bit
executables, but that has nothing to do with whether FAT16 or FAT32 is the
filesystem. I can still store a 64bit executable on a FAT12 volume.

Yes TRUE at first HMM
And the Start Boot Manu was moving you pass the fat16 Command.com to
fat32 Command.com at first on to C:\WONDOWS\ to run the WIN.EXE. For Win98
will not run on a fat16 Command.com
For XP do not need the Command.com to Start Running.. it runs it on NTFS
Boot.
For you can install 2000, XP and up, on all Systems and it will run YES
Linux Systems too!

So if you make XP a FAT32 in the XP Systems... XP make a little NTFS
Folder for it Booting..
That why you see that Bar running fast a crass the bottom of the page at
start up Booting of NTFS
if you have see it that's a good thing!!

now how to fix fat16 Command.com to fat32 Command.com back the way it
was!
you the first one to do this one I Know if
But as you have say::: in time by one at a time in the right way to do!

Bill in Co
We need you're here!

I guess that means I was using FAT16 then for both, or some other
method where that wasn't a problem, because I know it worked.

Thanks.

Program that changes drive letter D: to G: for example.

Five or ten years ago I had a freeware program that would scan the
harddisk and find every place where a drive letter of your choosing
was used, like C: or D:, display a list of them, and give you the
opportunity to change some or all of them to some other drive letter.

Does anyone remember the name of that program? Or part of the name.
Or the author's name?

It would look in the registry and all the .bat files and shortcuts and
some other places that didn't come to my mind years ago until I saw
the author had thought of them (and don't come to my mind today
either.)

It had a simple gui, nothing fancy, but did have white squares,
probably with scroll bars where the names of the files appeared each
with a check box probably.

I have a great need for something like this now.

My suggestion would be to 'google' for it.

That doesn't always work, especially when you don't know what to call it.
Based on his information, I concluded he wanted a now forgotten drive letter
assignment program. What he *really* wanted was a now forgotten application
mover program. Had he not come here, he might have not gotten his answer
*or* the idea of doing what he wanted by using another method altogether
instead of wagging the dog.

Google can be very helpful, but you have to know its limitations (or rely on
luck).

Quite true, but in most cases one can find the answer(s), when asking for
the
right things. Yet in this particular instance the OP was served best by
presenting
his case here.
Thank you for pointing it out.

I agree with everything you said. People are still smarter than
Google and they answer questions google can't.

BTW, I tried googling for it first and all I could find were ways to
change the letter assigned to the drives. That was pretty good, but
not what I wanted. Google looks for words in a row and words not in a
row but not for thoughts or the meaning of sentences.

CMOS Do have a drive Number assignments for more then Hard Drive!
For CMOS see first the UDMA of the Hard Drives
If you have one Hard Drives Number assign to it by CMOS is Drv1 and have two
partitions on it,
CMOS Number assignments will be Drv1_vol1, Drv1_vol2 for the more partitions
on a Drive The more Vol Number assign by CMOS!
((NOTE)) Not the partitions drive letter assignments that you made on it!

FromTheRafters maybe you can't see this on a Linux Root, like we can see it
with a open Windows to the Drive way!

Yes you can Make a new drive letter assignments, that the Windows OS
Software can see and run.
But the CMOS Number assignments will always be the same at the start of the
Computer!
Before your Windows OS Software run and see the new drive letter assignments
that you made for it so it can remap it..

Befo Old Map: 3 1/2 Floppy (A, Drv1_VOL1 (C, Drv1_VOL2 (D Compact
Disc (E
Afterword's: New Map: 3 1/2 Floppy (A, Drv1_VOL1 (C, Compact Disc (D
Drv1_VOL2 (E

Yes it all running good for you too....Hmm



But now i buy me a new Hard Drive!
No OS Found
Insert OS setup disk, the press any key
Dam I have to go to my BIOS SETTUP put UDMA back to #0
for I had it on #1 to run win 3.0

OK one more time LOOL But now the new Hard Drive!

If you have Two Hard Drives Number assign to it by CMOS is Drv1 and Div2
On have 2 partitions on Drv1, And 3 partitions on Drv2
Hard Drives Number assign to it by CMOS is Drv1_VOL1, Drv1_VOL2 and
Div2_VOL1, Div2_VOL2, Div2_VOL3

the way you name it in windows OS Before
3 1/2 Floppy (A, Drv1_VOL1 (C, Compact Disc (D Drv1_VOL2 (E

Afterword's: New Hard Drives a new map is made :
3 1/2 Floppy (A, Drv1_VOL1 (C, Div2_VOL1 (D, Compact Disc (E,
Drv1_VOL2 (F, Div2_VOL2 (G, Div2_VOL3 (H
See how that Drv1_VOL1 (C, Compact Disc (D Drv1_VOL2 (E was remap
by Windows OS Software to Div2_VOL1 (D, Compact Disc (E, Drv1_VOL2 (F

I hope you not Running on Drv1_VOL2 (E for it will be a Error Hmm




And you say::
SIP
This is preference, boot sequence stuff...

All of which has nothing to do with drive letter assignments.

Yes, but if one uses the advanced search, or knows how to construct the
queries manually, it can be very good.

On a XP look in C:\WINDOWS\system32 for then

16 bit file system and a 32 File Allocation Table are not on the some blocks
in a Partition ~ fixed-sized units called "clusters" ~ will not work!
Executables Software like a 16 bit up to a 64 bit.... are Not the some then
as ~ fixed-sized units file system.True.
And yes16 bit up to a 64 bit Executables Software's run Hardware's in ~
fixed-sized units file system form 1 bit up to 512 bit Partition!

For a 1 bit in clusters and 512 bit in clusters on some the some Partition
will not work .. True
But and 1 bit in clusters on a Partition Drv1_Vol1 and 512 bit in clusters
on a Partition Drv1_Vol2 for it will work ..
But not good for a long life of the Hard Drive WHY?

hmm and how one do the Search when he get this Error::

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: WIN.COM

C:\

Cannot find WIN.COM, unable to continue loang Windows

C:\

and the man say all I did is add a new Hard Drive!
For may XP work ok but unable to call up my Win98!

Now How you Bing it!

You beat me to it on that. I'm surprised how few people use the advanced
- I have http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en as my home page.
You can always use the top box just as you would the ordinary Google
page, so you've actually nothing to lose.

You search for the PHRASE "The following file is missing or corrupted",
or the phrase "Cannot find win.com", or "unable to continue loading
Windows".

and the man say all I did is add a new Hard Drive!

No idea; I don't know if Bing has advanced search capabilities. It
probably does - I'm just familiar with the syntax of Google's, so I
don't feel the need to use Bing.
