Drive letters being reassigned

[Ken Hart]

Unlike Windows 98 I thought XP fixed drive letters. The
problem I'm having is that on my last boot the drives got
reassigned. What had been my G partition (which had a
clone of my XP system for backup purposes) all of a
sudden became my C partition. The C partition I had been
booting from became D. This is a huge problem for me
since my backup drive is much slower and the data is
usually a few days out of date.

Can anyone tell me what is happening and why?

Thanks.

Oh that is totally cool. I'm new to XP and didn't
realize this functionality existed. Thanks for the help.
