DISABLING WRITE CACHING
To avoid potential write caching problems, you may want to disable the DOS 6 SmartDrive write caching feature. However, first you will need to know about the DOS 6 AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Below is a typical DOS 6 AUTOEXEC.BAT file for an 80286, an 80386, or an 80486 machine.
@ECHO OFF
PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\UTILS
PROMPT $P$G
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
SMARTDRV
You can use EDIT, the built-in DOS editor, to make or modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or the CONFIG.SYS file. Both of these files reside on the root directory of your start-up disk. Remember, the changes you make when you modify an existing AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file will not take effect until you restart your computer. Never make a modification to either the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or the CONFIG.SYS file without first making a backup of these important files on diskette. If your start-up disk is drive C, you can load the AUTOEXEC.BAT file into EDIT by typing:
