re: Please help delete Floppy Drive! Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 8:16 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dhm (990 messages posted) As I understand it, you can use Win98 to copy the floppies onto the hard drive but the installation of the program assumes you are working from an A: drive. Gewg_ said, "Think 1985". I happen to have (not entirely for nostalgia) IBM PC & XT User's Handbook, 1st edition (Cleveland:Weber Systems, 1985). It suggests this: ASSIGN A=C That seems to mean that if all the floppy info was on the C:\ you could fool it to look at C:\ and think it was looking at A:\. The command to reset to normal usage is: ASSIGN I have never used this DOS command and I do not have a complete understanding of your situation, but it may be worth the experiment.
