Windows (just like DOS) assigns drive letters to partitions in drive number order starting with the primary partitions and then moving on to the extended partitions. The bottom line is that you want the first Windows partition on the non-CentOS drive to get assigned drive letter C: when Windows boots. As long as Windows doesn't recognize the partition type (e.g., ext3), no drive letter gets assigned.
Nice, I think this made my day! 8-D Thanks.
Wasn't sure how the drive lettering happens with the Windows installer.
