Partioning Drive Letter Question For Dual Booting
Greetings, I have a desktop computer in which I have had Windows Windows XP OS until the last few days. I split my 600 GB hard drive in half (used GPartion) and have added Windows 7. I also added Easy Boot 2.2 in order to change the boot time and change the drive letter names. After the installation of Windows 7 i noticed that Windows XP was drive letter C and Windows 7 was drive letter F as I had two CD/DVD drives which remained drive letters D & E as they were with Windows XP alone. I changed the letters to end up with XP as C, Windows 7 as D, and the two CD/DVD drives as E & F. After rebooting I looked at both OS's and I saw something interesting and this leads me to my question. When I boot up with Windows XP it has the drive letter C and Windows 7 has the drive letter D. When I boot up with Windows 7, Windows 7 now has the drive letter C and XP has drive letter D. My initial thought was to change one of them to appear as the other but then I thought maybe Windows always gives the booted up OS the dive letter C and D to the non booted OS. IS my last thought correct or do I need to make changes. Thanks.
