When switching CPU/IO modules, an unallocated drive letter is automatically reallocated tothe CD-ROM drive in the order from D to Z. If you want to fix the drive letter of CD-ROM,specify the unallocated drive letter in the order from D to Z after setting the driver letter ofhard disk. Drive letter of system volume or boot volume cannot be changed. Up to 26 drive letters can be used on a computer. “A” and “B” are drive letters for floppydisk drives. Generally, hard disk drives are assigned “C” to “Z”, but for network drives, driveletters are assigned in a reverse order (“Z” to “C”). Because many of Windows programs refer to specific drive letters, cautions are required forassigning drive letters. For example, the Path environment variable specifies a program nameand a specific drive letter. For performing the procedure above, you need to be a member of Backup Operators group orAdministrators group, or you need to have appropriate authorization.
