    I am trying to install XPP on an empty hard drive. I create a partition and everything installs fine however when I open My Computer I see that the drive is H and not C due to all of the card reader drives that are part of the machine. Of course, one cannot change the letter of the system drive.

    Can someone give me some insight on how to specify the drive letter?

    Thanks

    Disconnect the card reader before formatting the drive and installing the OS - then reconnect the card reader.

    I was going to do that but the number of cables looked like it was more trouble than it was worth. Having taken another look I see that is is only one plug.

    Thanks Pete
