Changing Drive Letter
Hi Readers, Boys & Girls.
I am running a multi-boot system xp pro, w2000, w7. this morning i tried change the drive letter , and partly failed. My current drive setup is as follows: A as we all know is floppy C is my Xp OS D is CD-RW E is DVD-RW F is W2K G is New vol W is W7 From the Xp Platform I changed F drive to D: first moving out CD-RW to H leaving D available at first it showed as if I had achieved this , also checked with Acronis Partition Expert showed as if I had also achieved. But on reboot to W2K things stood as they were. also tried this from Safe Mode in W2K. note from above C is stand alone drive , also F stand alone. G is partitioned with W. 500GB TIA deejaydee |

But on reboot to W2K things stood as they were. Well, of course. I don't understand how you'd expect the way WinXP assigns/displays the drive letters of *non-system* drives/partitions to have any possible affect upon the way the completely separate Win2K installation would see its own *system* partition. The registries of the two operating systems do not interact in any way. If you want to change the drive letter of the Win2K installation, as seen from within Win2K, you'll have to reinstall Win2K. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot |

I had enough problems when I installed it searching for drivers etc. and after I had to repair the XP system so I'll stick with what I have. so I am enlightened, thank you again |
