PC Setup: CONFIG.SYS Not Modified by Install Programs

ID: Q69695

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 2.1, 3.0

SUMMARY

The installation programs for the Microsoft Mail server, MS-DOS client, and Windows client do not modify the CONFIG.SYS file. You MUST add the following line to support the use of the drive letter M as the default Mail database drive:

LASTDRIVE=Z

By default, MS-DOS can only access five drive devices (A-E) without the use of the LASTDRIVE statement. To function properly, the line should be added if the default drive letter (M) is to be used.

This does not apply to Novell; Novell recommends that you set the LASTDRIVE statement to the last PHYSICAL local disk drive and not the last possible drive letter.
