That only should happen if there is no disk 'f:' at all. From your
previous message, I gathered the impression that only 'f:' and 'i:'
were missing if the second disk is not present, implying that what
would otherwise have been drive 'g:' should now turn up as 'f:',
automatically. For the case that 'f:' is not present at all, you
may be able to use this check:

	if not exist f:\nul  goto Ooops_2nd_harddrive_not_there

I've seen reports that this old trick may no longer work with newer
DOS versions and/or Windows 32bit file access drivers, though.
