Do Letters of drives matter?

[ichigo1000]

Does it effect anything?
Example. Chancing my main drive (C to A.
I got anew drive but do not know what to name it. I am asking incase the letters effect anything.

Normally no unless you already have something installed and it's trying to find files that are no longer located where they used to be. My advice is don't change the drive letter of your main drive.

Using A or B is not recommended as they're reserved by the OS for floppy drives and that's what it expects to see there. Any other letter is fine though, but don't be surprised if you get some "path not found" errors here and there.

 

[Dereck47]

Drive letters A, B, & C are reserved.
A & B are reserved for Floppy Disk drives, which are no longer used in systems made after the year 2000 or so.
C can only be used for the O/S (boot) drive.

Use any letter you want from D through Z.

Beyond C:, it doesn't matter as long as software isnt trying to find a drive you changed the letter of.
