Drive letters are unique to DOS and Windows
Drive letters will only be assigned to recognizable file systems
Not all file systems are known to all OSes...
...which provides a way to hide a partition on a disk...
Drives A: and B: are reserved for floppy disks
Letters C: through Z: may be assigned.
Knowing this is particularly useful when configuring a DOS/Windows system. For example, a user workstation will probably have
its own system hard drive,
another drive for user data, and
possibly more drives for data and backups.
