I repartitioned my HDD, and I ended up with the situation where I have drives C, D, F. And E is taken by my dvd burner. That's kind of silly; I would prefer to have C, D, E, and to have the dvd burner be drive F. Why did this happen, first of all, and second, how to make it the way I want?
I used Parted Magic version 3.4. I already had WinXP Pro installed on C:. And I had a second partition, D. So in the beginning I had C: and D:. (And dvd burner was E) Then I split D: into two (didn't touch C: at all) to create a total of 3 partitions on my hard drive. Now I have drives C:, D:, F: and my dvd burner is still Drive E.
So why did Win assume that my optical drive should retain Drive E rather than making it Drive F? I wanted my HD partitions to be sequential: C, D, E, and for the dvd burner to become Drive F. This really isn't anything major or crucial... but still, can anyone explain it and suggest how to fix it? Thanks!
