Using other commands with SUBST
 
The following commands do not work, or should not be used, on drives used in
the SUBST command:
 
ASSIGN           DISKCOPY          RECOVER
BACKUP           FDISK             RESTORE
CHKDSK           FORMAT            SYS
DEFRAG           LABEL             UNDELETE /S
DISKCOMP         MIRROR

Using SUBST with Microsoft Windows
 
Do not create or delete virtual drives using the SUBST command while
Microsoft Windows is running. If you want to create or delete a virtual
drive using the SUBST command, quit Windows, create or delete the virtual
drive, and then start Windows again.
 
Using SUBST with compressed drives
 
You can use SUBST to associate a path on a compressed drive with a drive
letter. However, the drive size and free space of the SUBST drive (for
example, as reported by the DIR command) might not match the drive size and
free space reported for the compressed drive.
