Slave partition letter conflicts with Master partition
I have a PC runing Windows 98 with the master drive partitioned into
c,d,e and the slave into c,d with no data on it. But the slave's c partition is labelled d, and so hides the master's d partition. Does anyone know a way around this? |

From DOS (which is basically what W98 runs on), the primary partitions on each drive will be lettered sequentially. If you just create a big extended partition on the slave drive with logical partitions within it, then I think the lettering will be as you wanted it. Or just get W2K or newer... -- Michael Cecil http://home.roadrunner.com/~macecil/ http://home.roadrunner.com/~safehex/ http://home.roadrunner.com/~macecil/hackingw7/ |

Does anyone know a way around this? For win9x & dos, the driveletters are sorted so all primary partitions come first in drive-letter assignment, which causes the effect you see. If you don't need to boot on the second drive, re-partition it and only use extended partitions, then the primary C/D partition order won't get messed up. /Rolf |
