letter assignments
I'm unclear about automatic letter assignments. If I have three hard drives
and a CD-ROM all connected to the motherboard as below. Primary - Master 6 GB HD - Slave CD-ROM Secondary - Master 8 GB HD - Slave 10 GB HD Would they automatically be assigned: C: 6 GB HD D: CD-ROM E: 8 GB HD F: 10 GB HD - or - C: 6 GB HD D: 8 GB HD E: 10 GB HD F: CD-ROM Thanks for your help, Mike Mike |

However, with multiple partitions what you suggest is true, I think; the extended partitions' logical drives are ordered after primary partitions. I am really afraid to trust my memory these days, though...

"Mike" <> wrote in message news:i76dncKVApTumKrfRVn-... > C: 6 GB HD > > D: 8 GB HD > > E: 10 GB HD > > F: CD-ROM As I understand your scenario the above answer is correct. It gets a bit more complex when dealing with drives that have multiple partitions. In this case the primary partitions get letters allocated first, then the logical partitions.
