7.4 Drive Letter Assignment Problems
One of the most common problems users
report with high-capacity FDDs is confusion over drive letter
assignments. Installing a high-capacity FDD often causes other drive
letter assignments to change. The presence of an optical drive such
as a DVD writer further complicates matters, and even the decision to
boot the system with or without disks in one or another removable
drive may cause drive letter changes. In addition, different
operating systems handle assigning drives and reassigning drive
letters differently. The result is that it's easy to
become hopelessly confused about which drive letter corresponds to
which drive. How drive letters are assigned is explained in Chapter 13. If you have the opposite problemyour
