You can name the drives what you like (except the C: drive, I think). On
my main Windows (NT 4) system I have C, E and F partitions on IDE 0-0 and
D, G, H and I are on IDE 0-1. Then I have CDRW on J, empty K, L, M and N
(I sometimes map these as a Samba client to my Linux filesystem); P and Q
are mapped drives on my Win98 box; R maps to the CD-Rom on the Win98
box; S and T are empty; U, V, W, X,Y and Z are partitions on IDE-1-0. I'm
about to replace the drive on IDE 0-1 with a much bigger one so
partitioning it should get interesting. :)

Apols for a totally fatuous piece of non-information.
