Roger,

Drive "names" always end in a colon (:), so
when you address a drive (say, to format)
you would say:
    FORMAT B:
    or
    FORMAT A:
When copying files, the same applies ...
to copy the letter.txt file from the root
directory of C: to the A: drive,
    COPY C:\LETTER.TXT A:
or, to copy the widget.ini file from the
A: drive to the TEMP directory on C:,
    COPY A:WIDGET.INI C:\TEMP

There ya go,
~~Garry
