Honestly, you'd be way better off with HDDRIVER or PPeras driver.

ICD is old and clunky and will limit what you can do. More importantly, it won't let you use the SD card in Windows/Mac machines, which is a pretty useful thing to be able to do as it will allow you to interchange files between your ST and more modern machines with ease.

The disk preparation tools are considerably better than those for ICD too. You might find this topic useful: Setting up Ultrasatan

C is reserved for my main ATARI partition with Programs and it works fine. Have no other letter which I could assign, so my guess is that I prepared PC card in a wrong way...

Other things - I mean, mounting native partition on different cards and configurations run well so that's not an issue, I guess. I hope so.

Did you assign all the storage to C drive, so there is nothing left to make other partitions? (Which get assigned letters like D, E etc)
