Using logical names
FOLDER-disk's logical name will depend on your instructions during
creation of a FOLDER-disk. (See "Procedure of creating a FOLDER-disk"):
- FOLDER-disk created on the whole disk may obtain the host-disk's
logical name;
- FOLDER-disk created on free space of a host disk may obtain the host-disk
logical name or the first available logical name depending on your
instructions during FOLDER-disk creation;
- FOLDER-disk created on a diskette obtains the first available drive
letter.
Example:
Suppose, your computer has two floppy drives (A: and B:) and 3 fixed
drives (C:, D:, E:), and you have created FOLDER-disks in the following
modes:
- on drive C: the FOLDER-disk occupies the whole disk and obtained a
new logical name;
- on drive D: the FOLDER-disk occupies the whole disk;
- on drive E: the FOLDER-disk occupies free space and obtained the
name of the host-drive;
- on drive A: the FOLDER-disk occupies free space and has obtained a new
logical name.
Suppose, there was the following line in the CONFIG.SYS file when
booting:
DEVICE = C:\FOLDER.SYS C: D: E: A:
Under these circumstances the following logical disk names will be
used:
A: and B: - for "real" floppy disks;
C: - for the "real" drive C:, information stored on this disk will
be available for DOS;
D: - for the FOLDER-disk created on the "real" disk D:, information
stored on the real disk D: will be compressed and re-written
on the FOLDER-disk;
E: - for the FOLDER-disk created on the real disk E:, the
information stored there before won't be available for DOS;
F: - for the FOLDER-disk created on the real disk C:;
G: - for the FOLDER-disk, created on a diskette in "real" drive A:.
