Strange drive letter assignment after reinstalling XP Pro

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

After reinstalling a fresh copy of XP Pro, my main volume
has been labeled F: instead of the typical C:. Any
solutions as to changing it back? Tried in disk
management console but got error stating that I could not
change main volume drive letter. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

notebook. I'll try to disable it in the bios and try
again. thanks for the help

for your information the reason zip drives and all iomega harddrives do
that is because if you check disk management they are listed as
healthy[active]. disks that are active can have a os on it.
