No. A computer can have any number of drives. A: and B: are reserved for floppy drives, and C: is reserved for the first hard drive partition. The rest of the letters can be assigned to anything.

If you were to plug in a drive, such as a USB Flash drive or external hard drive, then it would become drive D:.
