when i use "drivelist" it only shows two drives c and d, which is different than the output of "perform checklist for drives" , why?
should drivelist show all the drives?

From what I can see in the source code, the DRIVELIST command attempts to change directory to all the drives from A to Z, and if it succeeds, writes out the drive name.

The PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR DRIVES automatically includes the A drive, and then only lists the other drives if they are 'Fixed' or CDROM, and for some reason ignores the removable or remote drives.

I don't know why there is a difference, or why the checklist restricts the drive types.
