I’d like to ask the experts a question: I have two hard disks: Hard disk 1: primary partition (1:1, FAT32), extended partition (there is one partition in it: 1:2, which is NFTS) Hard disk 2: primary partition (2:1, FAT32), extended partition (there are two partitions in it: 2:2, 2:3, both FAT32) I would like to ask: 1. After booting into DOS, how can I tell which drive letter each partition corresponds to? For example, which drive letter does partition 1:1 correspond to, and which drive letter does partition 1:2 correspond to, etc.? 2. How can I assign the answer to the first question to the corresponding environment variables?

Under DOS, generally speaking, NTFS partitions are not recognized automatically. So in your case, 1:1 is drive C, 1:2 disappears and is not assigned a drive letter. Then 2:1 is drive D, 2:2 is drive E, and 2:3 is drive F. If you set hard disk 2 as the primary hard disk and 1 as the secondary hard disk, then 2:1 is drive C, 1:1 is drive D, 2:2 is drive E, and 2:3 is drive F. In other words, primary partitions come first. It is the same under 98. I haven’t thought much about the second question, not sure.
