Swap drive letters in DOS

Comment:
I would like to swap drive letters in DOS. (e.g.: drive C becoming A: and drive A becoming C:).
I remember I did it few years ago, but I forgot how.

You can swap A and B diskette drives under dos but C being the hard disk boot drive letter, it is out of question.These programs exist in the Garbo archive.If you have only one diskette drive the letters A or B are available for one single drive and you don't need the program.Good luck.

I'm not sure about this but try...
subst a: c:\ subst c: a:\ (I believe this is the right syntax but check me if it's not)
