Last I checked... we only had 26 letters in the alphabet.<g>
If some program _does_ exist that can recognize more than 26
drive letters. What would those letters be?
(a: to z: and then A: to Z: for a total of 52 drives)???
Yes, that _would_ be a nice feature.
AFAIK, that's just a dream at this point in our technological stage.<vbg>

Here's one alternative.
If you have access to a second computer. Connect them together with
either a nul-modem cable or a laplink cable. This will make it
posible to copy each drive from one machine directly over to it's
"duplicate" drive on the other.
If this is not feasable.
The least expensive methode would be an external ZIP drive.
Copy each HDD partition to it's own ZIP disk(s).
