Drive letter weirdness...

I just installed XP onto a new hard drive, and for some reason that hd is drive G: instead of C:! Here are the details:

IDE 0: 30G (master), CD-ROM (slave)
IDE 1: 8 G (master), 3 G (slave)

The 8 and 3 G drives are already formatted as FAT32. When I got XP, I installed the 30 G, and during setup I formatted it as NTFS and put XP on it. However, for some reason the 8 G drive was set up as C: and D:, the 3 G is E:, and my new 30 G drive is G:! I tried using the drive manager in XP, but it says that it can't change a system drive letter.

Does anyone know how I can change my 30G drive into the C: drive? Am I going to have to re-install, or is there another way?

Thanks in advance!

Try disconnecting the two drives on your Secondary IDE controller and run the install again.

 

Install again...yuck.....

It is, however, an option. Maybe I'll just live with my system folder being "G: ", too.....

Thanks!

When you say "I tried using the drive manager in XP, but it says that it can't change a system drive letter" are you referring to
the Computer Management program under Administrative Tools?
