Can anybody out there in netland help me with the following?

1) Is it possible to configure your PC system such that you have
   disk drives named "A:", "B:", "E:", "F:", ... where there IS
   no drive "C:" or "D:" and if so, how?

2) If this IS possible, by what method can an application find out
   what current drive device NAMES are available?


Any help would be _immensely_ appreciated.  I'll take e-mail.

Thanks much,

Greg Lacefield
