HD

I just installed Win XP on a replacement HD. Disconnected
the original HD and used same connections. Installed HD
using XP CD and formatted using NTFS, it is 40 GB on a
Dell 8100 with 384MB RAM.
Problem is it assigns the drive letter for this drive
(40GB) to E: and makes the internal zip C: and my
external HD F:
I tried to change the letters but it won't allow me to
make the change in disk management.
any ideas

I can't believe that is the only solution for changing
the drive letters.
this was a clean install and I do have an upgrade but
also have the necessary CDs to show that I had the
programs previously.
this is an internal zip drive
Thank you

When reloading a system, one should always disconnect peripheral devices..

and done it many times in the past,a lot of years
Really got me baffled and don't like being a doubter.
