You still will be able to use the Label A and B , when you dont have any Floppy Drive connected to your system .

For example , You may map a network drive with the Label “A” and B” in Windows , you can do that provided these Labels are not used else where .

Why does your system still use C Drive as default ? . One of the simple reasons being the systems in the earlier days supported 2 Floppy Drives. Looks like it became more of a Industry standard .

Most of the users like me are so much used to C:Drive isn’t it ?
