Yes.

I've always been frustrated that I can't assign my Zip drive to B. But there's a neat little tool I found that can reassign any of your drives to any letter you like. Name your CD-R drive R, your zip drive Z, your DVD to V, or whatever.

Yeah, I thought it sounded wrong.

Anyway, don't speak to me about multiple drives. First off, there was a point when I discovered that a few of my games only looked for the game disc in the drive letter from which it was installed. And since at the time I was all into partitioning to organize data, my CD drive letter would be jumping anywhere from E: to J: - which would mean that I had to either reinstall said game, or find the freaking registry/.ini entry that dictated what drive letter to look in for the game disc.

So I read in PC Mag or somewhere that you could assign CDROM drives to any letter you wanted via the device manager. Quickly, I went and assigned my CD drive to be the as-yet-unchanged Drive Z.

But gone are the days of actually _wanting_ to have multiple partitions - I run out of room far to easily, and the more partitions one has, the more likely it is to end up with 400Mb free on 6 drives when all you need is a good solid block of 700Mb for a....erm... a game install.

But since partitions are very useful in multiple-boot machines (like mine, 98 and 2k), allowing you to keep the physical OS stored close to the beginning of the drive, where access time is fastest, I still have 4 HD drive letters today: C-F, with C being 98 drive 0, D being general drive 1, E being 2k drive 0, and F being general drive 0.

So yes, I like designing websites.

Good conclusion.

Actually, you can have Hard Drives/CD-Roms/Hard Drives. My current setup (With the 2nd HD plugged in) goes C/D/E/F for the 1st HD (partitioned), then G for the CD-Rom, then H/I/J/K/L. Games go on D:.

I've also got Linux installed; dual-booting is another incentive to have multiple partitions.
