I just replaced my master hard drive. I have a second hard drive that had
been installed a while back that was designated as a slave drive. I
proceeded to reinstall Windows XP Pro on the new master drive. Yhe drive
was pinned for master. When finished I found that the drive the system was
now installed was designated as "K". The partitions on the slave drive were
listed as C, D, E, F, G and H with the DVD burner and ROM listed as I and J.
I wanted to reorganize my drives and partition the new drive. I went to
"Disk Management" and tried to change the drive letters, I made C through G
available by designating the slave drive partitions as R through W. When I
tried to Change the new hard drive to "C", I received the message; "Windows
cannnot modify the drive letter of your System Volume or Boot Volume".
Since I do a lot of work within Windows Explorer, I like to have the master
drive partions listed fisrt with the system volume have the letter "C" and
the other newly created partion with succeeding letters and the slave drive,
which arhives my files to have the letters towards the end of the alphabet.
If worst comes to worst, I can start with the letter "K" and work upward.
However, I am hoping someone might have a solution as to how I can disignate
the System volume in the new hard drive as "C". Any help with be greatly
appreciated.
