In setting up a newer Gateway PC with Windows XP, I find that its operating system has created a small Recovery Partition as drive "D:".

I am accustomed to using D: for my second (data) internal disk drive. I hate to waste so good a letter on something that just sits around until needed, and don't want my frequently used drive to bear a K: or an M: tag.

I used the Disk Management tool to change the recovery partition to Y:, and assigned my second HDD to D:.

I was just wondering whether this could cause a problem. Will the recovery process expect to find the needed files on D:, or is that of no regard?

I can change things back before I get used to it.
