I checked once more to be sure.
1- I removed the alias to R: from the cnf
2- removed the R: icon from the desktop (Thing) and saved parameters
3- rebooted the system
4- checked with HD-Driver, the existing partitions are C: through Q:,
nothing else
5- opened U:, and could see it displays "r" as well in the drives list
6- right-clicked on the desktop, selected "Mount Devices", and R: was
created on the desktop
7- double-clicked the drive, got a -46 TOS error.
Strange. What might cause this ? ExtenDOS maps the DVD drive to B:, its
cnf is as follows :
;
; EXTENDOS.CNF: configuration file for ExtenDOS 4
; created by INSTALL.APP Version 4.0 on Wed Oct 21 18:20:34 2009
;
*OPT C=7
*MNT C:\MINT\1-17-CUR
*BOS, C:\AUTO\CD.BOS T=1024 L=128, Z:17
*DOS, C:\AUTO\UNIDRIVE.DOS P=24 B=40, B:Z
I can't see what could cause this...
