Dear Ñåðãåé Îðëîâ,
My friend has a primary master disk with two partitions, which shows as C: and D:. He has windows at C: and some programs at D:. But when I bring my one-partition-disk to him, and connect it as secondary slave, its partions becomes D:, and my friend's old D: becomes E:
I think that in your friend's HD C: was a primary partition and D: was an extended partition, and in your HD there was a primary partition, so Windows has given to it the precedence over the extended one.
What did Bill thought, while doing such idiotic drive letter asignment system?
Hmm, I don't think that the poor algorithm behind this problem was implemented by Bill. It's a little too easy to say that each stupid bug is caused by Bill.
But user must define it by himself (in config file, registry, or somehow else, like C:=/dev/hda1 :) ).
Yes, I agree, but please not with that Linux+Pascal hybrid notation! :-)
