any computer wizards in here. HELP!

b is reserved for a 2nd floppy drive. I don't even have a floppy drive in any of my computers anymore. Using P. Magic you can easily switch drive letters around, except for a,b & c. Pretty much you can assign any drive letter you like, as long as it isn't in use. Using P. Magic you can also merge partitions, although I like splitting my drive up so when winblows pukes my files don't run the risk of being deleted or overwritten.

Yeah I would advise against that, as many third-party programs like partition magic won't work with dynamic disks.

Reminds me of the days when I was still discovering computers and just for the heck of it partitioned my hard drive into 20 partitions... C all the way to X or something, and Z for the CD drive... that was fun... hahahah
