Quick scenario -- friend's PC hard drive is giving up the ghost. I got
him a new 80Gb drive and installed it as the primary master with the
old drive as the primary slave.
Did a fresh install of XP Home but didn't take note that on the
install it claimed that after creating a 20Gb and a 60Gb parttion they
were F: and G:? (He has a CD drive and a DVD drive which were D and E)
Install went fine but when XP started, it is showing F: as the boot
drive.
OK thinks me, I'll go into disk management and sort them out. Big
mistake as it won't let me move the F: drive to C: saying it's the
boot drive. I can move all the other drives fine. So I am now left
with his drives starting at F: and going up from there.
Is there a fix or am I going to have to start all over again with the
2nd suspect drive disconnected until I've finished the install?
Help!!
TIA
cheers,
