>. HI open controll panel open Administers controll
and Computer management GO to driver management and you
can alter all your hard drive and Atapi drive
assigned Letters IE E to C D:Z its up to you but if a
wrong drive sits on a letter you want to put a more
normal drive on you Move the wrong drive toa HIGH
Letter And move the Correct drive to its leter Re Move
tthe wrong drive back to the Corect Letter

EG
Driv e C is now assigned to a CD ROM as is D: and your
ZZiP is E and hard drives F G H and I
4 patitions J: is your only choice to begin the juggle
move the LASt Cd rom to K the
Burner to J the ZIP to L re assign the Hard drives to
the now Free CDE and The now free F drive spaces _ re
locate te CD roms and ZIps in accorance to Boot up
priority and computer protocall!
XP suks that way in NTFS but not in Fat 32 its
standard Format for drive alignment.
have fun and dont De frag too often It will frag IF
you do ! pain in da rear !
NTFS sucks For many oppps and is at least 30% slower
than Fat 32.
