(WinNT and Win9x have a slightly different algorithm, to make life interesting.) Now, if there is a disk in the drive at startup, Windows assigns a drive letter. Otherwise, it ignores the zip. When you actually use the disk, the next drive available letter is used. I don't remember the details, but using partition 4 ends up last in the sequence. This prevents Windows from getting confused by drive letters that have changed. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ `I want quality, not quantity.
