When each OS is run, it will call its own
partition "C:" and the other OS's partition "D:" because each thinks
that it is the OS which was installed on the "C:" partition. This will
not cause any problems as long as you don't make shortcuts which
refer to files in the other OS's partition.
Actually, if each OS had shortcuts referring to files in the other
partition (which it would call the "D:" partition), they would all
work properly since the "other" OS's partition would always be
the "D:" partition - not matter which OS was running. The problems
appear when you put in another device that causes the 2nd OS's
partition to become the "E:" or some other partition. But as long
as the device configuration doesn't change, shortcuts between
partitions will work.
