I have had great help from this group in setting up a means of running DJGPP binaries from Ramdisk, and I am working on a sort of installer (with a customised stub written in a very old version of Turbo-C .. tcc). There is one question however. If the original computer has several partitions on its hard disk the ram drive may not be drive D:. Is there a simple way of finding out which drive the ramdrive really is after installation ? A suitable DOS or BIOS interrupt call would be a very simple solution in this case.
