2 drives issue

Post by psh »

Hi,

I guess there can be two issues:
1. Your command line is not yet correct.
2. You did not yet initialise the disk with drive setup.

Hi,

The last line in your command line should never end with a ^, as the command processor will try to read a next line which isn't there and will wait for it. So remove the last ^ and you should be good to go. Also take care to never have a space behind the ^ ending any but the last line.
