Hello everyone. I hope someone can help. I just upgraded my "guts" (mobo, ram, cpu) and am trying to get all set up. I installed windows XP on a brand new hard drive on a newly created partition. On the setup screen, it says
C: Partition1 [NTFS]

I left some unpartitioned space on the new drive for a later win xp 64bit version install and I also have another HD that is listed as D: Partition1.

After the install, my system disk drive letter was F: and my other HD letter was E:

I go to disk management and I can change my second HD letter but it won't let me change my system drive letter back to C:

How do I get my system drive letter back to C: ????

Thanks for any help!

Not sure if this will work, but you can Windows' Disk Management tool. Just go to Control Panel (Classic View), open Administrative Tools, open Computer Management and look for Disk Management. You can change the drive letter by right-clicking on a hard drive and clicking on Change Drive Letter and Paths.

Unfortunately, I think you can't change the driver letter of your system drive, so good luck!
