3TB Hard Drive For HTPC help on Partition
Hi all
I just bought a 3tb wd green for my htpc server as its a new build will post specs and pics later.
the question i needed some help on is i want to use the 3tb as a boot drive which my motherboard supports as its the asus p8z77-v pro.
i want to partition it so that the boot c is 100gb and the rest as the 2nd partiton which would need to be formated to 2 GPT partitons.
the questions is the 2nd partition which is called the D: drive when i put another hard drive in the htpc server with the D: drive become the E: drive and the new drive the D: drive as its a new physical drive.
the problem with that is that my library for my stuff wil be on that drive and i dont want the 2nd partiton kept getting pushed to the last letter of the drive. is there a way to keep the 2nd partiton as the d: drive everytime i put a new drive in ? as this needs to be kept as drive d:.
I hope you understand what i mean
cheers.
