Suppose my computer has more than 26 drives. So how will Windows name the 27th drive & so on, because Windows assign a single letter as a drive name.:huh:

it will just not recognise the drives. see this thread:

Problem with Virtual Drive under XP - Alcohol - Club CD Freaks

It's just that there aren't any drive letters left to assign for me. So I have the maximum ammount of virtual drives with drive letters then I have like 8 virtual drives that won't function because the lack of a drive letters and if I attempt to assign it a drive letter there aren't any left, so windows doesn't recognize the drive only alcohol 120% recognizes it.

Edit - More from microsoft:

The total number of drive letters you can use at one time is 24. This means you can have 24 active volumes on a single Windows NT system. If you need additional volumes, you can create them without assigning a drive letter. These volumes won't, however, be accessible until you assign them a drive letter.
