how to map a network drive in dos?

[DAM]

Help please, I know this is not the right forum, but I need to get this answer quick, I have been searching for this for about 45 minutes with nothing.


I know you have to use the net use command comething like this:


c:>net use J:\\server\directory password [/yes]


but it doesnt work, anyone know the exact syntax? thanks!

I don't have any idea, but usually if you type the command followed by a slash and then ? it will tell you the syntax:

net /?

net use drive: \\server\sharename /useromain\username <enter>

then password

now would someone tell me how to unhide a partition in 2k?

thanks entity, i figured it out right before i looked at this thread. if your admin you should be able to see all partitions. thats my guess

Yeah, but you can't boot off of a hidden partition. I'll just boot to a different HD and unhide it (damned disk-disk copy messed it up).
