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.
