hello
i work with splitted OS disk so it shows C: and D:
when i add similar disk 1st section of 2nd disk
receives the letter D:
want to use a method that i can reserve D: for 2nd
part of 1st disk.
if it not possible a method that forces 2nd disk to
certain letters is as good as 1st idea
thank u for your help

Hi,
This is easy to do. When you install your second hard drive use fdisk to remove any partition from drive 2. Once you have a drive with no partitions use fdisk to create an 'extended' partition on you hard drive, do not create a primary dos partition otherwise you have the same problem.
Now that the second drive is an extended you can split it into as many drive letters as you need.
Primary drive seem to have priority over extended drives so any partition you create as primary will slot in in between any Primary 'C' / Extended 'All other letters (only if you have created more than 1 drive letter)' that you already have.
Hope it helps
Luis
