PCWorks: Drive Partition Order

Tom, I believe the answer to your implied question about why
"CMOS does 
drive letter
assigning the way it does" is as follows:

CMOS assigns letters for hardware first, then logical.  It
assigns the 
primary partition on the first drive as "C",
then the primary partition on 
the second drive as "D".

Then it goes back and assigns letters to the
"created" (logical) partitions. 
  You may in fact have a second primary on one drive, but
(for assignment 
purposes at least) CMOS sees it as a logical partition.

At least that's the way I remember it......     8^)

HTH, John.

Thanks Clint, I think I'll leave things alone.

I am a little surprised that the CMOS does drive letter
assigning the way it does.  I'd have guessed that it would
first detect the master drive and all it's partitions then
detect the slave drive and all of it's partitions and
assign
letters accordingly.  Can't ever second guess a computer or
the software.
