Hide or unhide partitions in XP Pro disk copy

M

Mike

I want to use Drive Copy 5 to copy a 300GB hard drive to a 320GB new one.
I have 2 partitions on the drive which XP expects to be I and L.
The instructions suggest to hide the partitions so the OS will not make new
drive letters.
Is this a concern in XP since I see drives fom C to P with these two missing .
TIA

if you only have data on these partitions, there shouldn't be an issues
necessary to hide them from XP, however if you have installed
programs/software on these partitions there could be an issue as they may not
be able to be found
