Wouldn't one of your partitions be the d: then?
And your cd be e:

I don't remember how it came to be, but it's not.
Perhaps the partition was created AFTER the CD was recognized

But one drive in 2 partions (c: and d) would make the new CD drive e:? and any new partition on that HD would be f:, is that right? (I know the first bit isOriginally posted by Skanky Burns
Unless you set your cd drive to only ever be d:, windows will move it up a letter should you add harddrives.

That would make sense. You can lock drives to certain letters, and as a lot of software expects a CD-ROM to be D: then it would make sense to lock it there.Originally posted by Sirotnikov

Though if you try to access partition D, and your CD-ROM is not assigned to that letter, then how come it starts keeping noices for 3 minutes? It shouldn't do poop.In da butt.

Can someone clear this up for me? I always thought the last drive created was appended to the 'letter list'. I've DEFINATELY had HDs 'after' my CD driveComment

I think windows assigns drive letters as it finds them. Primary master partition 0 starts at c:, then any other partitions (in order). It then moves on to primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave. If your cd is secondary master and you have a hd on secondary slave, the cd will come before your hd.
An exception to this is if you change the drive properties in windows to assign it a letter within certain ranges. You can set the cd to be only d:, or only between x: to z:.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

My CD is secondary master and my HD is primary master.

I haven't seen any software that actually expects the CD-ROM drive to be at a particular drive letter. That would be very bad programming.Originally posted by Cruddy

In the Windows NT line, you can assign any letters to any drives. I don't know if you always need a C:, though.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

I had a cd from a games magazine that had a batch file.
"d:\games\somegame..."
Yes, very bad programming.

Biggest culprits - although there are games that get stroppy when the CD is in any drive but D:.Originally posted by Skanky Burns

How's it going Siro? You cracked it yet? What's going on, last time you weren't sure if the boot disk was making CD-ROM available. Is it?Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.
