arrangement of letters on two hdd

[edm107]

Hi everyone!
I have two hdd on my system with following partitions: C(primary partition),D (logical partition) on first hdd and G (logical partition) on second hdd. Total commander display this partiton like this: C,D,E,F,G (E,F are CD-ROM drives).
My question is if there a way to change arrangement that i can have C,D,E - hdd and F,G - CD-ROM drives.

Thank you!

Hello ! Welcome on board !
- If you mean the drive-buttons, or the drives in the drive-comboboxes, TC displays them always following the alphabetical order…
- However, in the next version, you'll be able to use another way to get the drives, and to display them in the order you want …
• Just a fortnight to wait for !

 Kind regards,

Hi Claude,

I reffer if i can display cdrom drives after hdd drives so i can have the same laters (c,d,e,f,g) but g becomes e and e becomes f and f becomes g .

I am not sure if you understand me. Sorry for my english!

- The drive-letters are assigned by Windows, not by TC !
- I don't think that you could change this in anyway…
- Adding some hint texts is possible, though; just add in your <wincmd.ini> :

Code: Select all

[DriveHints]
E=Kind of drive... 

• One line with a drive letter for each drive you want for rename /comment.

What is your operating system? In Windows 2000/XP you can use the Administrative Tools to change drive letter assignments.
The only drive letter you cannot change are A and B for floppy disk drives and the drive letter for your system partition which is C: in most cases.

Thank you Lefteous, i found what i wanted! It's work with Administrative tools.

BTW: The drive letters are also reassignable under W98(SE).

Hi Roman !
- When you have only a single HD >> C: , the A: floppy and a single CD-Drive { D: }, please let me know where you can find any command to change the drive-letters in Win 98 SE…

That's interesting, I never heard about it. Can you explain how to do?

AFAIK, in Win9x you can only remap CD-ROM drive letters, don't know if it's possible with other removable devices, but HD can't be mapped.

It can be done in the cd-rom device properties window (My PC-> Properties).

Thanks, that is what I know. I did hope that Roman knows a way to change HD drive letters.

Sheepdog,
CoMiKe is right, I was reassigning only CD-ROM drive letters. Sorry for the confusion.
