Tom, you can change all drive letters EXCEPT the boot partition. I've
had systems where I've changed drive letters for drives, mainly using a
partition manager like Partition Magic, but the boot partition always
remains unchanged regardless if it is C: or F: or Z:.
Plus you must change all drive mappings for all installed software as
well. Powerquest (now Symantec) has a great tool called Drive Mapper
that does this for you.
The CMOS does put the first partition on the master as C: and the first
partition on the slave as D:
I think Drive Image 7, also from Powerquest has Drive Mapper too.

I took a hard drive out of computer one and put it in
computer two as a slave. The computer one drive has three
partitions on it with the first being a primary partition
with Windows 98 SE on it. The drive in computer two has five
partitions, two primary partitions with Windows 98 SE on one
and Windows XP Pro on the other. I use Partition Magic to
hide the primary partition I don't want to use.
Is there a way I can get the partitions to appear in a given
order?
The way they keep coming up is:
"C" Primary partition from drive two.
"D" Primary partition from drive one.
"E" Partition "D" from drive two.
"F" Primary "E" from drive two.
"G" Partition "F" from drive two.
"H" Partition "D" from drive one.
"I" partition "E" from drive one.
I'd like to have all the partitions from drive two (master)
show as drives "C" "D" "E" "F" and the partitions from drive
one show as "G" "H" "I" if possible.
Does anyone understand what I am asking?
Thanks,
Tom
