Heard a rumour that it is possible to create a matrix of drive letters, ie AA, BB, etc. Win 98 supports pairs and win 2k supports triplets. But Technet and anywhere else I've tried has nothing. Anyone any ideas? Is it true or complete hogwash.	Guest (0)

If you have the drive space you could copy the cds to the HDD and use SUBST or FakeCD to create a drive letter when it is needed. Assuming you can get the needed scripts to work right.	Guest (0)
