I have a new computer with the following setup:
Primary IDE Master ST3120026AS (120Gb)
Slave Not Installed
Secondary IDE Master ST3120026AS (120Gb)
Slave Not Installed
Third IDE Master Not Installed
Slave Not Installed
Forth IDE Master CD-RW
Slave DVD-RW
(I have RAID 0 + 1 capability but this has not been enabled/set-up)
So......Why does "computer management/Disk management" (XP Pro) show the following arrangement/Drive letters?:
Disk 0: (F) 111.78Gb NTFS Healthy (System)
Disk 1: (C) 111.78Gb NTFS Healthy (Boot)
CD ROM 0: (D)
CD ROM 1 (E)
Specifically I'd like to know:
1. Why they're not named in the order C,D,E,F?
2. Why aren't the System and Boot partitions together on the same HDD?
3. My system works fine but will this set-up cause potential problems in the future?
Thanks for any enlightenment
