Hi, I suggest that you do something like: - load the ramdisk and use a known label set olddir=%_cwd% finddisk +RAMDRIVE (or whatever your label is, note: case sensitive) if "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto noRamdiskFound set ramdisk=%_cwd% :noRamdiskFound cdd %olddir% set olddir= - you are done :-)
Finddisk can also return the found drive letter as errorlevel, but then you need either 20+ "if ... errorlevel ..." lines or a FOR loop or some "bennylevel" tricks (which FreeCOM versions support those?). C:\>finddisk /? Public Domain disk finder by EA 2005 Usage: FINDDISK [X:][+]LABEL Search LABEL on drives C:-Z:, case-sensitive.
