drive letters

right, for some reason my drive letters are abit messed up.

C drive (HD)
D drive (CD-DVD)
E drive (CD-RW)
F drive (HD)

er.. i want C being my hd and d being my hd, then the 2 cd drives being e and f.

its neva done it like thois before and it wont let me chance it..
any 1 know how i can sort this out?

 

OR Maybe.

Go into the device manager and change the CDROMS to S: and T:

This is the first thing I did after installing XP was to make sure that the CDROMS were still S: & T: ( I put XP over 98SE ) Then when I did add the slave drive it did not mess up the HD partition letters.

In fact I started that practice way back in the DOS Win3.11 days. And have just carried it right on

The slave continued right on as H: I: J: The master being C: thru G:

I just loaded Windows XP onto a new computer. I created a partition with Partition Magic and that it, too, came up F. I'm really not bothered by it as I don't any command line. But what I do is to give the hard drive partitions VOLUME NAMES. Right click and rename them. It helps me sort them out.

I have a card reader. So I have all kinds of drive letters. It gets better when I add the USB Pen Drive!

 

thanx guys! i found a site which told me how to do it. exactly as Steve R Jones said.. cheers for ur help, and u once again billy! ur almost my live saver! lol

I may have helped to save your life but darn near tore my own apart BADLY

I was deleting some long gone program folders in XP and was ready to hit the DELETE key when I noticed ( thank GOD ) that the C:\Windows folder was highlighted.

I do not think all parts of my body are back in place yet.
