Change Drive Method

The Change Drive method changes the default drive. It does not return a value. The drive that it changes to the default drive must exist, and this drive must reside in the range that the LASTDRIVE statement in the config.sys file specifies.

You can use a colon as part of the name of the drive but it is not required.

You can use the Change Directory method to change the current directory on a drive.
