I recentley installed a new hard drive copied all my stuff to the new one and took the old one out. However my master is still F: and I want it to be C: Any suggestions ?
Good point. Never tried it. What is interesting, I pick which hardrive I boot from when I start the computer and
WinXP will always assign the boot drive as "C". I am not sure why his will show "F".
Yeah, I installed windows on it as a slave, with my old hard drive the master. I then RMA'd the old drive and moved my current drive to the master position, adjusting the jumper of course.
I'm just going to buy a new hard drive in september when I get back from vacation, so I figured I'd tollerate it being F:, but we should try to solve this.

Well, I figure it may be best to tag my question onto this one. Hope you don't mind.
I've just replaced my HDD. I've installed XP & everything I need. There are 3 partitions so my CD is 'F'.
If I now want to add my old HDD as a slave, will it just push the CD to 'G'? I'm just worried that anything I installed with CD on 'F' will need reinstalling to work properly. I figure it may not find the CD as it will be looking at the new HDD.
