Just to clear up one little thing: It doesn't make any difference if a drive is "bootable" or not. What matters is whether the drive
has a primary partition or an extended partition. All primary partitions--bootable or not--get their drive letters assigned first,
followed by all logical drives on extended partitions.
In NT (including Windows 2000), you can always change the drive letters manually, but in Windows 9x you're stuck with the letters
that get assigned.
