Trouble Assigning Hard Drive Letters
Hi,
I made a ghost copy of my h.d and duplicated it to a new h.d
I wanted to keep the old h.d for back up.
The problem is that when I boot my p.c the new h.d gets the letter D and the old h.d gets the letter C
The new h.d is identified as the primary master on the boot sequence as well as when I enter the system via partition magic and other third side programs.
I tried to disconnect the old h.d so it wont influence the new h.d but then the p.c freezes on the windows welcome screen.
Whats happening?? (celeron 800 256 ram xp pro sp2)
Thanks,
Bendi

Storage ==> Disk Management
Right Click on the drive in the lower pane ==>
Click 'Change Drive Letter and Paths'.

Dont think this will work on C:\. It is your boot partition so you wont be able to re-assign the letter. Assuming they are SATA drives it is probably to do with which SATA socket you have the drive plugged into on your mother board and the device boot order in your BIOS
