PCWorks: Drive Partition Order

I took a hard drive out of computer one and put it in 
computer two as a slave.  The computer one drive has three 
partitions on it with the first being a primary partition 
with Windows 98 SE on it.  The drive in computer two has
five 
partitions, two primary partitions with Windows 98 SE on one

and Windows XP Pro on the other.  I use Partition Magic to 
hide the primary partition I don't want to use.

Is there a way I can get the partitions to appear in a given

order?

The way they keep coming up is:
"C" Primary partition from drive two.
"D" Primary partition from drive one.
"E" Partition "D" from drive two.
"F" Primary "E" from drive two.
"G" Partition "F" from drive two.
"H" Partition "D" from drive one.
"I" partition "E" from drive one.

I'd like to have all the partitions from drive two (master)

show as drives "C" "D"
"E" "F" and the partitions from
drive 
one show as "G" "H" "I"
if possible.

Does anyone understand what I am asking?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom, you can change all drive letters EXCEPT the boot
partition. I've 
had systems where I've changed drive letters for drives,
mainly using a 
partition manager like Partition Magic, but the boot
partition always 
remains unchanged regardless if it is C: or F: or Z:.

Plus you must change all drive mappings for all installed
software as 
well. Powerquest (now Symantec) has a great tool called
Drive Mapper 
that does this for you.

The CMOS does put the first partition on the master as C:
and the first 
partition on the slave as D:

I think Drive Image 7, also from Powerquest has Drive Mapper
too.
