I did not thought much about the how.
Did it decades ago. :-) I don’t recall if it handles the list mentioned drive A: / B: swap disk issue on single drive systems or not. Anyhow, stuck 3 such ancient utilities up one my server http://fd.lod.bz <http://fd.lod.bz/> for you to try. For now under the /utils directory. DRIVE.EXE - reports some info on all drives or a specific drive / disk. DTYPE.COM - reports a one-liner piece of information about current drive. INFO.EXE - reports some system information, including a section on drives. I know I still have sources for at least DRIVE and INFO, there up on Github in my Dusty TP7 source collection. Probably DTYPE as well. :-) Jerome
