This is simply not how the Linux / Unix filesystem works.
The assignment of "drive letters" was introduced in CP/M, and later ported to MS-DOS and subsequently MS Windows.
Linux / Unix filesystems instead use mount points, where the "base" of the filesystem is mounted in /
(called root - not to be confused with the root
user).
This has nothing to do with the amount of partitions you have. In Linux, you can have as many partitions as you like, and furthermore you can mount them anywhere in the filesystem - in fact it is often recommended that you do so for various reasons (which can't fully be covered here).
For instance you could partition like this (but this has to be done at install):
Partition 1: / (root)
Partition 2: /home (user files)
Partition 3: /tmp (temp files)
Partition 4: /var (various+logs)
You can also have additional disks (and/or partitions) which are usually mounted in /mnt
, for instance:
Data disk 1: /mnt/data
Data disk 2: /mnt/backup
If you want to emulate something like Windows drive letters, you could mount external media in the /media
folder, and assign them a letter, like /media/D
, /media/E
etc.
However, it's unclear what you would gain from this, except that it will be familiar. I would suggest you also become familiar with the Linux filesystem, and make choices that makes sense here, and can become familiar over time.
I should point out that I have used both Windows and Linux for quite some time, so I'm generally rather unbiased - but I personally think that the Linux / Unix file hierarchy is more logical, where arbitrary drive letters are not.
