Assigning Driver letters in WinXP installation
Hello. I have this Dell L733r that I installed WinXP on. It also has an internal 250mb zip drive as a slave drive which is on the same cable as the DVD rom installed on [1]. When I installed WinXP, the main hard drive (master) [0] ended up with a drive letter of [e]. The DVD rom was D and the zip drive was [c]. Is there anyway to avoid this short of disconnecting the zip drive? But it would seem that you wouldn't have to discconnect the zip drive. Why does the main hard drive set as master [0] not automatically be assigned [c]. thanks

Nope - the zip has to be disconnected during the install process. This also happens with flash card readers and any USB devices that have card reader slots. It's just the way it is.
