You mean drive letters. A:\ and B:\ are not partitions.

I think wtp is right and Windows reserves that drive letter for a floppy drive but why are you even messing with the path "A:\" if you know you don't have a floppy drive installed. Play with fire and you're only going to get burnt.

All that it does is gives you an error message.
