Running Orion 7.07 on drive letter other than W:

[belindarule]

Hi all,

 

Just installed Orion 7.07 (on Win XP SP3 if that makes a difference). I need to have it run the virtual drive on a letter other than W:, because W: is already in use for a network drive.

 

I'm not able to find anything in the Orion version-specific documentation that refers to changing the drive letter. The installation guides on the wiki all seem to be for previous versions, which either prompt you for a drive letter upon startup (this doesn't happen for me in Orion), or come with a file called Disk Start.vbs (which I can't find in the Orion files).

 

Thanks.

Look in folder UniServer\alternative_control

Read file run_on_drive_w.txt

 

To change drive letter edit the following two files:

 

Edit file run_on_drive_w.bat

Replace “W:” with “x:” where x is the new drive letter

 

Edit file remove_drive_w.bat

Replace “W:” with “x:” where x is the new drive letter

 

All the best Ric

Hi Ric, Thanks for the reply (the notification went to my junk mail so I only just noticed it, sorry!).

 

I found that this works if you copy the two batch files into the top level Uniserver directory before you run them. If you don't, then only the \alternative_control directory is mounted as the new drive.

 

Thanks again.
