TITLE :INF: Assigning a Drive Letter to a CD-ROM Drive
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When a CD-ROM drive is initialized under Windows NT, it uses the first
available drive letter. There is no straightforward method of choosing
a drive letter. However, you can set up your other drives and
partitions in Disk Administrator such that the drive letter you want
to use for your CD-ROM is unused. For example, if you have two
partitions and you want your CD-ROM to be drive D, use Disk
Administrator to set the partition drive letters to C and E. When the
CD-ROM initializes, it will use D because it is the first available
drive letter.
NOTE: This workaround does not let you choose a drive letter that is
used for a network drive. The next available drive letter used by a
local physical drive will be used by the CD-ROM. There is no
workaround.
NOTE: You can also use the SUBST command to assign a different drive
letter to the CD-ROM drive.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version
3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
