I've just added a second hard drive to my system, but this has caused
a problem with DOS 5.0 and the drive letters it uses.  Originally, my
first drive had multiple partitions, C: thru K:.  Now DOS insists that
D: be the first partition on the second drive, which means that all
the partition letters on the first drive beyond C: have been shifted by
one, to E: thru L:.  Is there any way to get DOS to assign the first
partition on the second drive as L:, thereby leaving C: thru K: on drive
one?

[Sorry if this is a FAQ.  My site doesn't have any FAQs in its' current
articles.]
