SUBST
The SUBST command allows one drive to appear as another drive. This
is useful for creating a consistent drive letter when the drive and/or path
may change.
Syntax
SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path] or SUBST drive1: /D
Options
The /D switch disables the substituted drive letter (un-installs it).
The
drive1
argument must be currently unassigned and non-substed.
The
drive2
and
path
arguments must be a valid drive and/or directory.
Remarks
SUBST without any options displays the currently substituted drives. The
path may be any legal DOS path, including network drives. DOS by
default will not reserve room for extra drive letters. The LASTDRIVE
command will be required to make available extra drive letters.
Examples
SUBST e: b:\subdir
SUBSTitute drive E: to use B:\SUBDIR
SUBST
Displays all SUBSTituted drives.
SUBST e: /D
Drive E: is no longer SUBSTituted.
