Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

number, if they exist, and that MS-DOS is to prompt you to enter a label or
delete the existing one, use the following syntax:
 
    LABEL
 
Parameters
 
drive:
    Specifies the location of the disk you want to name.
