is there any way the drive letters for the boot and system partitions be
changed? after a recent repair of my win2003 installation, the default drive
C: on which win98 was installed turned into D: and the previous drive F: on
which win2003 was installed is now drive C:. All My win2003 programs have
stopped working.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
 
This article may help but only to the point of restoring drive letters. If
the system partition has changed then you have greater problems and we'll
need all of the details of what has happened.

It worked.. thanks. But all my installed programs still point to the
wrong locations. How do I change the path for the variable definining
Program Files and the Windows directory?

Thanks
 
From a command prompt;

echo %systemroot%
echo %programfiles%

What is the result?
