So I'm setting up a brand new partition on MSDOS and as I already have a primary partition, I have to create an extended one and then a logical one, but for some reason it's giving me the letter D: as the hard drive, instead of E:
The problem is that WORMS game (version 1.0) requires CDROM drive to be letter D: and I really wanted this version to run.
How can I make sure (that) new partitions will start from E: and not D: ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
You can get around this but it is a bit dumb. Create two partitions, 1 that is a scratch disk, say 10MB (D:), and the second is everything else (E:).
In Autoexec.bat do this:
LOADHIGH C:\DRIVERS\SHSUCDX.COM /D:IDE-CD /L:F /V /C
LOADHIGH ASSIGN D:=F:
This will assign your CD to F: and then "Assign" will take over your 10MB scratch disk that is assigned to D: with your CD drive. So you end up with D: and F: as your CD drive, and E: will be your disk drive.
Like I said, it's stupid but it works for 99% of games that need CD to be D: as this is how I do it on MiSTer.
