Not quite sure what you asking there, but I think I made it clear... I must have missed all the MS media programming... lol... But my drives don't move around and reconfigure themselves 1st part stays as C, and the 2nd part stays as D, and the third part stays as E. All the way to L: (several dedicated storage partitions) It was originally partitioned in XP so it was only one primary. During my testing I eventually switched it over to 3 primaries just to see what it would be like (no biggie) but of course it will follow different rules when assigning drives if I introduce another OS no doubt...
My other system, I eventually just rebuilt Win7 on C and shifted XP to D: once I could predict it's behaviour... It did work out by chance that I could still use my XP because, low and behold, even though I shifted it to D: it would boot up and start as C, assign D to the reserved partition and keep my crucial E (OS specific data drive) stationary.... all the other partitions are arbitrary, but not E... so that was a just a fluke of luck that XP insists on assigning the reserved partition as D: wonky, inelegant, and something I had no control over, but got the job done,
