Making Drive Letters Permanent
The process of creating partitions assigns a logical name (the letter C, D, etc.)
to each partition. These letter assignments, under Windows NT, will normally
float. If the disk configuration change drive letters are subject to change after
reboot. As an option, you can make the drive letters permanent. If you want to
make the letter assignments permanent:
1. Access the Tools pull-down menu.
2. Select Drive Letter then choose To Assign. This process must be
repeated for each partition (drive letter) that you wish to make
permanent.
