I have a dual HDD dual boot PC, one disk running win2k, on the other I
just installed XP home (I had another install of win2k there previously
but formatted & installed XP). Since my larger HDD (win2k) is
partitioned, I have C, D & E drives. When I installed XP on what had
always been the C drive, XP has transposed C & D (when you go into WE in
XP, what had always been C is now D & vise versa). XP is on D. The
boot.ini is on D under win2k, C under XP, but my understanding is for
boot purposes the PC ignores the letter designation & refers to the
drives by number/partition. How can I change the letters back to agree
with the win2k install?

Thanks,

Dan
