I have recently bought an external SCSI drive (Maxtor 8760S) with an
Adaptec 1542B controller. The SCSI is Fdisked and formatted with DOS 4.01.
I am running DOS XMS Driver (ver 2.77) and MS SMARTDrive Disk Cache (ver 3.11).
What I want to do is move Win3 and associated files (Winword, Excel, ToolBook,
etc.) from Drive C: to the SCSI Drive D: without reinstalling Windows and the
other files. I plan to do the following;
- xcopy the Windows directory and subdirectories to D:
- edit *.ini in Windows directory to reflect the new drive
- edit *.grp in Windows directory for same reason
- change Path statement in autoexec.bat
Will this work? Do I need to do anything else like including "VirtualHDirq=
FALSE" in [386Enh] section of system.ini?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
