I have installed a 'new' hard drive as the boot/system disk (Maxtor 200GB
ATA 133). Using Maxiblast 3 the original boot/system drive is copied to the
'new' drive as a slave, the slave master configuation is then switched. The
bios recognises the 'new' drive as HHD 0 (the PC boots and works fine) but
under Windows (Management) it shows as 'System ( I )'. I have tried to
rename the 'old' boot drive to from ' C ' but have been unsuccessful because
it contains a 'Page File'. I don't want to format the old boot drive until
I am satisfied that all my data was copied accross successfully.
I have tried the Mircrosoft work around for page file with no luck. Although
I asume that trying to rename the 'new' boot/system drive from I to C will
cause similar problems as this too will contain a 'Page File'.
Any help would be grately appreciated.
