Once a high letter is assigned to cdrom,like g or h, would it stick through restarts etc for ever? How is that done? While in the new nt my cdrom is currently F: It sticks...five years long enough?? forever is a long time..there may be a problem with Y3K<g> NT Start/Programs/Administrative tools/Disk Administrator/right click CD-ROM/Assign Drive Letter Win95 Start/settings/system/device manager/CDROM/specific CDROM/properties/settings/start drive letter Zeuspaul

would it stick through restarts etc for ever? If you do not make it high enough you may have a problem if you get another harddrive or add more partitions. Harddrives come first in a normal lettering sequence. Also leave room for a JAZ or Terastor drive...you never know. Zeuspaul

>> Once a high letter is assigned to cdrom,like g or h, would it stick through restarts etc It sticks as long as you don't blow the registry away. Certain operations can unstick it and set nasty traps, such as having a disk drive letter assigned to it. NT usually handles this , but 95 doesn't, and I'll be surprised if 98 does. Adding a CD rom that falls over an assigned one is fun. I suspect Jaz drives etc are a scream also. Funny as a staked goat.
