**Question**  
Have you all wondered what will happen if you run out of drive alphabets in Windows? Like C:\\ to Z:\\ are all used (A:\\ and B:\\ are reserved for floppy drives)?

**Answer**  
The next drive you plug in, Windows will still detect it, just that it will not assign it any drives alphabet and thus you cannot access it.
