I added another hard drive, but the installation failed.
I want to get my old drive back to C:.
I removed the new drive and made the old one the master
again but it is still labeled as E:.
Since it is the boot device how do I change it?
Thanks.

Cari,
That gets me to the point where I can boot all the way up,
but didn't change the assigned drive letter E:. Since all
of my previously installed apps think the path should
include C:, they don't run.
