Windows NT Setup, in text mode, attempts to assign drive letters to
hard disk partitions in the same way Windows NT does. However, some
circumstances prevent Setup from assigning drive letters exactly the
same:
- In text mode, Setup relies on the hardware and firmware of the
computer to access hard disk partitions.
- Removable hard disks are assigned drive letters after all other hard
disks are assigned under Windows NT. However, Setup cannot detect that
a hard disk is removable, so it may assign a different drive letter.
- Some hard disks depend on device-driver-specific information and may
not be visible until Windows NT is completely installed.
Windows NT Setup displays drive letters in order to prompt you for
needed information, but does not generate drive-letter-specific
configuration information. This issue will not affect the
functionality of Windows NT or Windows NT Setup.
