Adamastor Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hello! I'd like to change the drive letters, I mean, change the c:, d:, etc. shown in the explorer for something like fd0:, fd1:, hd0:. hd1: as used on the Amiga. I know how to change the label and icon of a drive unit, but not its real name under explorer. Any registry tips to do that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinriva Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 There's a number of ways ot change the drive letter to F:, Y: or Q: but I don't believe that there's any way of changing it to fd0:, etc. I could be wrong but I am almost certain that Windows only alows drive letters from A to Z (which can be an issue if you have more than 26 simultaenous drives. There is however a method of Mapping a folder to a drive letter and I THINK you can Map a drive letter to a folder, which you could subsequently call hd0, but this wouldn't be the same.The program that I have used in the past is called Partion Magic by Powerquest. This also has a nifty utility that checks the registry etc. for old references and updates them to the new drive refrence (fixes shortcuts etc.)The Amiga? I don't think I was born sorry. The first computer I ever used was a Mac Classic when I was 4 years old, I think it was running MacOS 6.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamastor Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thank you very much! My mistake, I was so excited about this idea that I forgot this issue. Then it's the same case as MS-DOS, only from a to Z. Well, your first OS was a MacOS 6.... you make me feel sooo old... I'll try however to eliminate the parenthesis of the drive names.Thanks!
