    Cool Max no. of discs/partitions in XP Pro?

    Hi Folks,
    What happens when your partition/disc ID gets to "Z"?
    Does it roll over to "AA", "AB" as in Excel or does it die!!!
    The reason I ask is because I am about to reach this stage.
    What with discs getting bigger and bigger, more internal and external drives being added such as CD and DVD writers, back-up hard drives, card readers for digital camera cards each of which takes up a disc ID, as does the card slot on my Epson printer.
    Best Regards.

    Unfortunately, Windows can only have a max of 26 letter drives

    Thanks,
    I thought that might be the case.
    Do you know if it's the same limit in VISTA please?
    Regards.
