Changing the Default Drive When you see the A) prompt, you know that MS-DOS is operating from drive A and you can now enter a command. However, if you want to run a program or find a file on a different drive, you must specify that drive. YOU can do this by including the drive descriptor with the filename or by logging onto that drive. To log onto drive B, follow these steps: 1. At the A) prompt, type: B: Be sure to type the colon. 2. Press Enter. Your screen now displays the B) prompt. This means that MS-DOS is now using drive B. The system continues to read from drive B, which is now the default drive, until you log back onto drive A. Using MS-DOS with Your Apex 4-15
