I have noticed all the HDD (except C Drive having the OS in it, I suppose) changing their System allocated Names/Alphabets when a new external/internal HDD is installed or further partitioned. Along with this, I've also noticed once with one partition in the Seagate External HDD going RAW and the files in them disappearing when an internal HDD was installed. Then I had to use the DiskMgmt utility to 'ADD' an Alphabet (choosing the same old one) thus redeeming the file System, parition and the files unhurt.
While changes in this way are obvioulsy stuffing up nothing at all, I wonder whether there is any software/method available to 'freeze or arrest' this shuffling (unless they are removed/deleted) and let any new change take place only from the unallocated Alphabets. Thanks. |

Windows allocates a letter whether its a flash drive, hdd, floppy, or internal card reader. Once you remove whatever then yup, if you install or add something else, it'll use that letter |

Partitioning is a mysterious art. A primary partition can only have one logical drive letter whereas an extended partition can hold one or several logical drives. It all depends on how the PC is set up. |
