Hi all,
I never had a reply to my earlier post (below).
I want to prevent XP (explorer & disk management tool) from
assigning logical drive letters to hidden (inactive)
primary partitions.
How can I do this ?
--------------------------------------
I just noticed someting strange about XP's explorer.
It displays hidden (inactive) primary partitions as logical drives,
starting above last CD-ROM drive letter.
As far as I knew, only one primary partition can be active (on the
first HD) at a time, making the other ones "invisible".
So how can Explorer display those supposedly hidden, inactive
primary partitions?
I would rather have the "other primary partitions" invisible to XP,
so that my other operating systems are "totally shielded" from it...
Can this be done?
