Please, make it possible to mount images to A: or B: letter.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is possible. I believe that drive letters A and B are reserved by Windows for floppy drives.

A and B are not reserved at all.
I can mount ramdisk and ISO images to both letters using 3rd party applications.

Ah, I apologize for my windows ignorance. I try to minimize my use of Windows in general.

I'm sure there's more checks, but that was the first obvious one I saw.

I'll put in an issue for it to further research.

That's ok.
I suggested that because A: and B: are not used nowadays and they are great for virtual drives.
Thanks srg.

Simple suggestion for Windows version
