Want to avoid 750Sata Disk coming in as disk 0

[nesredep egrob]

I have bought a 750GB Sata WD disk to store some of the video I am working on at
the moment. When I open up Disk Management I see the disk is there as disk 0 and
that it is a dynamic disk.

I cannot remember how to sort out that problem. I was wanting the disk to be
partitioned in 5 seperate logical drives to continue after logical G.

I can really use some help here.
As you can guess I have installed the drive and used the W2000 disk to get to
where you press F6, where I used the floppie Raid to install the driver. From
there I dropped out of the installation using F3 all of which is fairly
standard.

Help Please

If your question is about drive letters then it's easily answered:
Run diskmgmt.msc from the Start/Run box, then change the
letters as required.

No I have handled that badly. But thanks for the help. I took exception to the
fact that the disk was disk0, I had expected it to be disk2 as I already have 0
and 1. More to the point was a question about signature and a mention of Dynamic
disk that worried me. However eventually I clicked OK on that and that was the
end of trouble. The disk turned out to be Basic as I had wanted. I sorted the
letters from Settings etc.
Eventually I shall fit another disk of like size. I presume to have a Raid array
0 that I shall have to convert the first disk to dynamic?. The idea I have about
that is that one disk should become the working disk and the other an automatic
backup, am I right. If not I shall have to do some more reading on that subject.
