Sorry, the command to type is: "ccmove a: c:\hiarcs6 /m"
Hopefully this will work, assuming that you installed Hiarcs in the C drive of
your hard drive, if not, just substitute the "c:" to the appropriate letter of
the hard drive. Also, make sure that the hard disk is formatted with FAT16 and
not FAT32, had problems with FAT32 before.
