Hello, thanks for your time, I am new to W2K so please be patient. I have a harddrive that has two partitions, W98se on the first, W2K on the second, W98se is running FAT32, W2K running NTFS, I also have two CD drives [one is a CDRW]. My drive letter assignments are as follows, "A" is my floppy, "C" is W98se, "D" is CD-ROM, "E" is CDRW, and "F" is W2K, IS THIS NORMAL, I am not complaining because everything is working great, it just seems a little odd on how the drive letters were assigned. THANX FOR ANY REPLIES

It sounds like you installed W2k through Win98? Win98 assigned your C,D and E already, so it gave your F to W2K. It is very normal

If you wanna change it, start diskmanager. rightclick your CDR and change the letter

I wouldn't change drive assignment using diskmanger as you will be unable to run any applications installed under w2k. Use partition magic - magic mover instead.
