Could you clarify please. I only have a C: drive on my computer, as well I attempted to locate Raam and it does not exist on my device.

That's because D:\Raam\Raam_LIB\Allegro is where the original poster ( Raamvishnuraja ) had his library folder located...

You library folder is wherever you configured yours to be...

So in allegro, in the command window. I would have to be in the folder where my footprint library is. Then run:

allegro_uprev -b

No, not in Allegro, since you are using Windows in a 'command prompt' window
