Drive letter assignment hierarchy:
Primary channel drives get letters before secondary ones.
Master drives get letters before slaves.
Primary partitions get letters before extended ones.
Example1:
Primary EIDE channle
Master Drive
Primary partition C:
Extended partition E:
Slave Drive
Primary partition D:
Extended partition F:
Example 2:
Primary EIDE channle
Master Drive
Primary partition C:
Extended partition G:
Slave Drive
Primary partition D:
Extended partition H:
Extended partition I:
Secondary EIDE channle
Master Drive
Primary partition E:
Extended partition J:
Slave Drive
Primary partition F:
Extended partition K:
So, to answer your question, set up your new drive with only extended
partition(s).
