Problem

Solutions: Customers logging on to regular NetWare after installing NetWare Lite may receive an Invalid Drive error when they change to the F: drive to log in to their regular NetWare. This is caused by the LASTDRIVE=M command being automatically added to the CONFIG.SYS file when NetWare Lite is installed on a workstation. The error can be eliminated by changing to a drive letter greater than the one listed in the LASTDRIVE command before logging into regular NetWare. This corrects the problem because the LASTDRIVE=M command reserves every drive up to M: for NetWare Lite. For example, if the command LASTDRIVE=M exists in the CONFIG.SYS file users can log into regular NetWare from an N: prompt. The LASTDRIVE command can also cause problems if the user's Login Script in regular NetWare maps to a drive less than the drive listed in the LASTDRIVE command. For example, if a user has a drive mapped to J:\USERS\LOGIN_NAME, this J: drive will not map out since it is a drive reserved by NetWare Lite.
