All hard drives on a system are ennumerated in the order in which Windows finds them (which, of course, is also the order in which it searches for them). Although you can mess around with the orderring if you have the know-how, I'll assume that most readers will still be using a "normal" setup. For IDE, the first controller precedes the second in the search order, and a master precedes its slave. For SCSI, drives are found first by controller, then by channel, and finally by device-id (0-6). The partition number, '''Y''', is |

The partition number, '''Y''', is the same number for the partition as would be reported by fdisk '''(XXX - can somebody confirm this?)'''. If you are using VMWARE to bootup pre-installed linux, click "Edit Virtual machine active | Hardware | Hard disk". It will tell partition numbers, this number starts from 0, added by 1 as the partition number for your [[coLinux]] configuration file. |
