The system drive is set up during device startup and cannot subsequently be changed.

However, getting the drive letter is the most common requirement. </p> <p>[Note that in versions of Symbian OS before 9.2, the system drive number was fetched using the function <codeph>BaflUtils::GetSystemDrive()</codeph>. This function is now <i>deprecated</i> and should <i>not</i> be used.] </p> </section> </conbody></concept> |
