Nope.... *THIS* how drive letter assignment works.
In this situation:
HDD1 contains 1 primary partition and an extended partition
which then contains 2 logical drives.
HDD2 contains 1 primary partition and 1 extended partition
which then contains 2 logical drives.
primary on HDD1 == C:
primary on HDD2 == D:
1st logical on HDD1 == E:
2nd logical on HDD1 == F:
1st logiacl on HDD2 == G:
2nd logical on HDD2 == H:
The above is my current setup.
