Assigning a CD-ROM Drive Letter
If your computer has a CD-ROM drive or any form of removable media, you should be
aware of potential problems caused by the way drive letters are assigned to these devices.
Under Windows NT/2000/XP, you can change drive letter assignments with
PartitionMagic; otherwise, this is a function of the operating system. The operating system
assigns drive letters in this order: (1) the first recognized primary partition on each hard
disk, (2) all logical partitions on each hard disk, (3) any other primary partitions on each
hard disk, and (4) the CD-ROM drive and any other forms of removable media.
Generally, all removable media should be assigned drive letters after fixed disks.
Because the CD-ROM is one of the last drives to receive a letter, any partition you create
or delete on any of your hard disks affects the drive letter assignment of your CD-ROM
drive. Occasionally, the operating system may not assign a drive letter to the CD-ROM
drive. If this occurs, complete the steps outlined below.
If you are using Windows 95/98 and Windows 95/98 drivers for the CD-ROM:
1 On the toolbar, click Start ➤ Settings ➤ Control Panel.
2 Double-click System.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
4 Double-click CD-ROM.
5 Double-click the name of your CD drive.
6 Select the Settings tab.
7 In the Start drive letter and End drive letter boxes, type or select Z. Because the OS
assigns all other available drive letters before assigning Z, this ensures that partition
changes you make in the future do not invalidate your CD-ROM drive letter.
8 Click OK to close the Settings page.
9 Click OK to close the System Properties dialog.
10 When prompted to restart your computer, click Yes .
