I did Dave: in fact I assigned Drive Letters K and L, but to no avail. It
might be important to note that the new partition H: I had previously created
for the Page file was made by the Acronis CD which installs itself before
Boot Up. I do not understand with goes on"behind the scenes" but this might
have the cause. In fact when I deleted the said partition (H:), the
"invisible" DVD Drive was restored in Win Exp.
P.S. I had thought that Drive letters are to be contiguous. Is this not the
case then?
