xp drive numbers

[Guest]

is there a limit to the number of hdd or cds you can run under windows? I
have a dell pc with one hdd pratitiond into 7. the reason I ask is if I fit a
cd rom, or dvd, drive it shows up in windows but,though indicating that there
is a disc in the drive shows no content, or title,. If you boot up the pc
with a cd in the drive, it will work without fault till reboot

Drive letters can go from A to Z

you can use all drive letters up through "Z"

if you have more, the add'l drives can be added as folders

CD/DVD drives show the title of whatever disc is inserted.. if no disc, then
they show as CD, DVD, or CD/DVD.. this behaviour is to be expected..

humm, did you read my post??? the drives indicate that a cd is present, but
do not show the title or show any contents. oddly enough Ive got a little
knowledge of windows pc's
