5.8 Assigning a letter to a partition

Windows utilizes letters to identify disks and partitions, automatically assigning

them at loading.

Under Windows NT/2000/XP, Apricorn EZ Gig II enables you to assign any unused

letter to a restored partition (logical disk). To do this, select Yes, I want to assign

a logical drive letter to restored partition. If you don’t set this switch, no

letters will be assigned to the restored partition, hiding it from OS. Under Windows

9x/Me, this step is bypassed since letters are assigned automatically.

Assign any unused letter to a partition

You should not assign letters to partitions inaccessible to Windows, such as to those

other than FAT and NTFS.
