Change Boot drive to C:

[Brown]

I had a catastrophic crash and lost my motherboard and boot drive. Rebuilt
system with new motherboard and new boot drive. had most of my software
loaded when I realized that my boot drive was E:
Some apps need/require C: to be the boot drive or they refuse to load.
Is there any method to re-assign the boot drive name without completely
re-initilaizing and reloading everything?

Nothing reliable.
Although "SUBST" may be your frined in this case.

Reinstall and this time remove any USB, zip, memory disks, etc. The Zip
drives are notorious for stealing the C designation when installing XP.
