LOCK

LOCK

In the ML370.BAT (SP14445.exe -> \SAMPLES\NT4), it was the following line : "echo | Y lock C:\ >NUL" (lock the drive before running WINNT.EXE).
Where can I find LOCK (.EXE or .COM ?) ?? Thanks !

Re: LOCK

If you use a DOS 6.22 boot floppy you will not need the LOCK command. If you have a WIN9x boot floppy, lock is required. Beware that the max initial partition size is limited to 2Gb with a DOS boot floppy. LOCK is an internal windows 9x command so will be available in your boot environment.
