Hi all, I'm looking for a fix, possibly from the author of the setdrive utility. I upgraded from MS-DOS 3.2 to 5.0 and it now gives me a message that it needs version 3.2 or better. I am using this utility for a HD 3.5. If anyone has any ideas, please email them to me. Thanks in advance. /* Robert Allen Gottlieb Internet: gottlieb@umbc5.umbc.edu */ /* Bitnet: gottlieb@umbc2.umbc.edu */ /* */ /* */ /* The opinions herein are not those of UMBC, but rather those of */ /* my cat: Junior. */ /* */ /* "To seek the sacred river Alph */ /* To walk the caves of ice */ /* To break my fast on honey dew */ /* And drink the milk of Paradise..." */ /* */ /* - Neil Peart/RUSH "Xanadu"/A Farewell To Kings */

You load it in CONFIG.SYS and it tells certain programs that you're running other versions of DOS. Full details in the manual. Format: SETVER [drive:path] filename n.nn where drive:path is the optional location of SETVER, filename is the program you want to trick and n.nn is the version you want to tell it. Use SETVER setdrive 3.20 and you should have no problem. Chanel

Hi again, I have solved my problem with the use of the setver utility like everyone has told me to. Thanks to everyone for the info. It works fine now and the format command on DOS will now work with my 3.5 drive! Before I had to use the confmt utility. Anyway, thanks again for all of the responses. /* Robert Allen Gottlieb Internet: gottlieb@umbc5.umbc.edu */ /* Bitnet: gottlieb@umbc2.umbc.edu */ /* */ /* */ /* The opinions herein are not those of UMBC, but rather those of */ /* my cat: Junior. */ /* */ /* "To seek the sacred river Alph */ /* To walk the caves of ice */ /* To break my fast on honey dew */ /* And drink the milk of Paradise..." */ /* */ /* - Neil Peart/RUSH "Xanadu"/A Farewell To Kings */
