I finally got round to upgrading some of my PC's parts - going up to a Duron 1,300 with 512MB PC2100 DDR memory, then sticking in a new 80GB 7,200 rpm 8MB cache hard drive.
Then, I decided to use Windows XP Pro as the OS for the system and I used the XP setup CD to prep/ partition the hard drive in to 7 parts (due to FAT32 - in case I wanted to nuke XP), then formatted them and installed XP.
Fair enough!
Then, after installation, I noticed something strange when looking at the drive letters.
There was some kind of split in the lettering of the HD partitions. The first partition was C, then D was the DVD-Rom drive, E was the CD-Writer, then F,G,H,I,J and K were the rest of the hard drive partitions.
I don't know why Windows had 2 sets of hard drive partitions, when all 7 partitions are on one single hard drive!
It's not a critical thing that would cause crashes, it's just weird?
By the way, it is just Windows XP that does this, Windows (any/ all versions) or is it just some strangeness???
