I believe dos looks at the primary partitions on the first two
physical drives first, then finds any `extended' partitions and uses
the logical partition info within those to continue to assign letters.
For example, if you have two drives, each with a primary and one
extended with two logical volumes, I think it ends up being like this:
Drive 0: Drive 1:
(pri) c: (pri) d:
(logic) e: (logic) g:
(logic) f: (logic) h:
It's been some time though since I've played with these things. :)
