I erased everything on my computer (Windows and dos specifically) so I could start over. When I reinstalled DOS though, my drive A became B and B:\ became A:\. I need to reswitch these so I can install my new windows though. Thank you.

Hi,
If you mean you have 2 floppy drives (one 5.25" and one 3.5") and they were swaped, enter CMOS setup and change the option "Floppy Drives Swaping" (or something like that).
Good luck, Igor M

If the BIOS does not work when you disable the b drive, you will have to fisically disable the drive, open the computer and carefully pull the strap from the drive and the power cord, do the BIOS and reset the computer, that should work.

If you need it only temporarily, you can use the command 'attach a: b:' which will switch them until next reboot.
