After booting with a CD that emulates a floppy, the floppy drive can't be used anymore. What should I do? On Wuyou Disk, the real floppy drive can be used as drive B:. How is that done?

In my on-the-fly Chinese-localized boot disk there is a tool called DEMUMGR.COM that releases drive A: Wuyou does that through some boot menu management tools such as bcdw, there is a boot disk made with syslinux on this forum that can do this too.. It was made by our fellow member nre..

I tried it, demumgr doesn't seem to be very powerful. What kind of thing is bcdw? Why couldn't I find it on Wuyou Disk? Where is the boot disk made by expert nre?

I'd still like to trouble the experts to tell me how to turn the real floppy drive into drive B:. I'm using diskemu to make the boot disk. demumgr can release drive A:, but when I use it in autoexec.bat, it doesn't seem to work!

This shouldn't be a problem, right? After booting from a CD made from a 98 boot disk, the real A: drive becomes B:. What I want is to boot from the CD-ROM and still have A: remain A:, but up to now I still haven't thought of a way. Several experts on the forum haven't been able to sort it out either.

MEMDISK, that's Master Rushi's answer.

Use this, it can help you. Run it after booting from the CD, and it can swap A and B. Add /U to restore. Open attachment
