Better to label your drive volumes to something other than obscure or drive letters, like DATA, or your name. that way when you in a fdisk program or other OS you can see what is what and not cause an accident. Curious, I thought that the DOS will only point C: to the first primary found?

Extra (more than one) primary partition get a letter after all extended partitions. *That*is*the*rule*. If you boot Win98 or MS-DOS or FreeDOS from the second (physical order) primary partition, the other primary will also get the last letter. FWIK, if there is an extended partition between 2 primaries, it makes no differece. But I am only 90% sure of that. Some DR-DOS version have an extra bug, it has to boot from the first primary partition, that one will allways be called C: Alain ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
