drive letter limits

Actually, it goes into config.sys.

Type at the DOS prompt:
CD\
EDIT CONFIG.SYS

at the end of the lines of commands, in about the same order, you can put:
LASTDRIVE=Z

From there, press the Alt key, press enter,

highlight save, and do so. Then exit.
That should do it.

LASTDRIVE=Z equals to LASTDRIVE=26

LASTDRIVE=32 is the max

what would be the names of drives 27 to 32?

Drive 1: A:
Drive 2: B:
...
Drive 25: Y:
Drive 26: Z:
Drive 27: [:
Drive 28: \:
Drive 29: ]:
Drive 30: ^:
Drive 31: _:
Drive 32: `:

Note: This only works in DR-DOS 7+ & MS-DOS 7+.

There are other options; one of these is to follow the How to create and manipulate NTFS junction points knowledge base article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=205524

There is some additional information as to why this limit exists in an article on the Techtarget website http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/...tml?bucket=ETA

If you actually have more than 26 drives or volumes, you can mount a letterless drive/volume to an empty folder on another drive/volume. This is done through Disk Management.
