Since I have to load MINIX OS on it, and While you can't truly switch disk drive assignments, probably the easiest solution to your problem is to use ASSIGN X Y, where X while be assigned or addressed as drive Y. In your case, you will want to ASSIGN B A. From now on (until you correct this) every time you will try to access drive A, the light on your drive B will come on. I hope this helps...

That way, you won't have to mess with the disk assignment. Just putting in my two cents' worth... Chet Chin UC San Diego
