Hi, I have 5 USB hard disks for backing up data on a server. One for each day of the week. All the hard disks are labeled for each day of the week (Monday to...
... It's possible that another USB device already has the drive letter you need so changing it (if it can be done) could cause problems. Can you alter Handy...
If I choose a high enough drive letter, (X, Y, Z) I will be sure that no device will use it. But still, some times the hard disk will not get the next...
A colleague suggested that I use this, But I would prefer your opinion. @echo off set day=%date:~0,3% if /i %day% == mon set ADL=P if /i %day% == tue set ADL=q...
Don't top post, please. The code you provided doesn't take into account the situation where another drive already has the drive letter assigned. What you could...

OK, so I was confused before, and NOW... even MORESO... First off, I did NOT recommend XXCOPY since it IS a commercial program which is NOT free, and you...
... Hi Ralph, I appreciate your involvement on this query. What does WTF mean? I am sorry, but my experience in DOS is as pink as my date of joining this group...
... Ralph, Your confrontational attitude is unnecessary and inappropriate. I can't presume to speak for the OP, but when I ask a question I take the discussion...
