I purchased a new WD 80gb hard drive and as I had 2 cd-rom drives and
2 hard drives in my computer a friend said he would ghost all my files
from my old D: drive to the new D: drive, I replaced the old drive
with the new drive but now have a problem. Windows XP home has
reallocated all bar my C: drive to new drive letters. I cant find how
to reallocate the drive letters in the Win XP help, but I know I have
seen it in these groups before, could someone please post how to
re-assign the drive letters.
OLD NEW
C: HDD C:
D: HDD F:
E: DVD E:
F: CD-RW D:

goto administrative tools/computer management
