54827 2002-06-17 12:57:00 I am all set to partition my hd so I can run 2 operating systems. The tutorial says that FDISK allocates C to first partition, D to next and so on. Can someone please tell me what will happen to my CD-ROM which is now drive D ?

Thanking you......

54829 2002-06-17 13:27:00 Hi Christopher,

Your CD-Rom drive will be assigned a drive letter immediately after your last hard drive partition. So in your scenario your CD-Rom drive would be E: You can assign a drive letter for your CD-Rom drive (in Win98SE: My Computer, Properties, Device Manager, CD-Rom drive, Properties, Settings, and change the Reserved drive letters to suit you). I have my CD-RW as R: and my CD-Rom as Q:

Hope this helps,
Rod.
