	But it does have the virtual drive D: from the second partition.
You would have to change the partition information (very carefully) with
FDISK or Disk Manager if its a Seagate and uses DMDRV.BIN.
	I may have missed something as to why one would want to forget about
the second partition/virtual drive.  It doesn't really matter. On my
own computer, I have four floppies, and the last two, added as devices
are E: and F: after a 40Mb drive that thinks it is C: AND D:.  ALso
recently I installed a second hard drive on a friend's computer. She
now has two drives, but two virtual drives each, so C: D: E: and F:.
