Batch file help

[Mark Warbeck]

Sorry for the repost, but I originally posted close to the weekend and
didn't get any responses.


I have a laptop user running XP Pro. He uses a PC Card hard drive as a
backup. I wrote a cmd file to make sure the drive is there, then use
robocopy to image his My Documents folder to the removable drive. The
problem is sometimes he has an external Zip drive connected. Thus the drive
letter of the removable drive may be D or it may be E, depending on the
sequence that the drives are connected. Can I force the PC Card hard drive
to always be the same drive letter or include code in the cmd file so it can
tell which is the hard drive? The cmd also includes commands to zip his
mailboxes and copy them to the removable drive.

Thanks,
Mark

So then in my script instead of using a hard coded drive letter I'd use %dl.
Is that correct?
Thanks,
