"Subst" command doesn't work in WinXP

That's not true.
I clearly remember that I used to mount a folder as A: floppy drive although I did have the real one present!

Hmm...maybe this is one of the WinXP restrictions...
I've tried to mount the folders as B: floppy (which I don't have) and it worked!!!
Well, I guess it's a partial solution of my problem, but I know that some of the games won't install from B: floppy. Oh well...thanks for the inspiration Space. If it wasn't for you I would never try to make a virtual B: drive.

Yet, I can assure you that I could make a virtual A: on Win98. This is the first time I tried it in WinXP though....

How about temporarily unplugging the floppy drive in the computer? that way windows will free up drive A and you can use it virtually, that's given that you don't need to use any floppies for that game to run.
