Important Additional Information For DOS
Assignment of Drive Letters
The MS-DOS operating system assigns drive letters to primary partitions first. Af-
ter the primary partitions have been assigned drive letters the logical partitions are
assigned drive letters. Do not assume that the drive letter designations will follow
consecutively from device to device within a PC system. An Example:
A PC system is configured with an IDE hard disk as the boot drive, a SCSI hard disk,
and a CD-ROM drive. The IDE drive has three partitions: one primary and two
logical. The SCSI hard disk has two partitions: one primary and one logical. The
SCSI hard disk is assigned ID one, and the CD-ROM is ID four. The distribution of
the drive letters is:
A: 3 1/2" floppy drive
B: 5 1/4" floppy drive
C: IDE primary partition
D: SCSI primary partition
E: IDE first logical partition
F: IDE second logical partition
G: SCSI logical partition
H: CD-ROM
