Depends on the comp.

Usually

-WINNT

-storage

-storage

-storage

-web

-CD*1

-CD

-MO

-Win'95

-CD*1

-CD

-aps

-storage

and then some more, named depending on the computer they are on.

-CD

-DVD*2

-MO*2

*1 Some have a DVD drive instead of the CD drive and one or 2 floppy drives.

*2 not of of them . . .that would cost me a fortune ;)

And one of my Linux computers has about 25 partitions including some swap's. It where about 50 partitions untill I sold my RAID controler.

Well, first note. Why do you want the Hard Drives to be paraell. They work fine in C and E.

I was just wondering. I new a guy that had all the way up to W: That was heaps of partitions, different CD drives, Zip and Jazz and even those 5 inch disks.

Don't give me ideas about hacking.

[Lord J]

Yeah, I had a friend of a friend who had all 26 letters full of drives.  Mostly CDRWs though...Heh, I guess he'll be screwed when it comes down to DVDRWs being the rage.

Well, first note. Why do you want the Hard Drives to be paraell. They work fine in C and E.

And why not in C and D?

[gryphon]

"Why do you want the Hard Drives to be paraell. They work fine in C and E."

To you are you adressing this, I have now clue what you're saying with that.

:)

[jacobdouds]

Well, making it E, instead of D, involves less drive changes, which can cause some problems. Many games will have to be reinstalled for example.

[Timenn]

You won't have to reinstall anything if you change the cd-rom drive letter. Cause the games will not be told what letter you cd-drive is. Windows only gives them acces to the cd-rom drive, not the letter. I don't know how it is with other OS's

[gryphon]

Linux doesn't mount is under letters, they way it usees is mutch easyer and doesn't have all the problems that Windows has with it.

You can have problems with games or application when your Cd-rom drive changes. It keeps an line in your reg that defines th einstal path and sutch, sometimes when it can't find data on that the darn thing just stops. But that depends on you version of Windows.

And I don't see that "drive assigned letter" as a downside / problem. You can simply give any drive the letter you want. New drive, just pick a letter you like, it doesn't nessesary put hard disks or primairy partitions first. Just pick the letter you wan't for the drive you want.
