Wrong. Absolutely wrong.

RESERVEDRIVELETTER= only applies to CD stations. Removables handles as
fixed drives such as Iomega Jazz, Iomega IDE Zip, USB MSD, their drive
letter is assigned by LVM. Hence can be assigned to any letter declard free
by LVM. 

In the good old Fdisk times, the drive letter of things like that came
immediately after the "real"  hard disks. That would have been
foe instance, with 3 partitions onto hard drives, one IDE iomega Zip and
driveletter=N:

For the partitions on HD: letters C, D and E.
For the Iomega IDE Zip:  
For the 1st CD driev: O

And before you spread further confusion, I have 3 scsi iomega jazz drives
here, so I do know what I am speaking about.
