Letter assignments for Win 98 drives

Is there a limit to the number of drives Win 98 2nd Ed will insall?

 

How about 26, including FDD.

 

LOL, luqa.

And who the heck would need more than that.

 

The original poster perhaps!

 

A for floppy.
B for floppy, though not used much any more.
C for boot partition.
23 more....minus your optical drive(s).
You can use up to 256 partitions, but they have to be mapped via networking, you can't just partition a drive and expect the letters to go: X, Y, Z, A0, A1, etc... or AA, AB, AC...or CA, CB, CC, CD, CE...

 

Thanks to all...

Thanks guys...I needed only one more. Just got curious if there was a limit.

Thanks again

 

Hint: if you make your CD-ROM as "R" for Reader, your burner "W" for Writer, and DVD as V (for lack of a better letter), then you can add or remove drives and partitions all you want, and the optical device letters will never change. Very handy for those shortcuts that point to a CD-ROM, but get moved up a letter if you add a partition. Also easier to keep track of what disk is in which drive.

 

You are so right reboot.

I found that out when I bought a new drive, & got brave, & started installing three separate OS's on it, plus hooked the old drive up as a slave with 2 OS's on it, and made extra logical partitions on both drives.

Didn't take long to figure out that I needed to re-name the burner & player to Y & Z.
