I needed to replace my hard drive due to an imminent drive failure. I also
thought it would be a great idea to upgrade my OS from ME to XP. I received
a loaner hard drive from Western Digital, identified the new drive as master,
changed the old drive (with ME) to slave and loaded XP to the new drive. The
old drive was, of course, identified as deive C:. The new drive is
identified as Drive F:, as I have 2 optical drives on my desktop.
I have no rpoblem with keeping drive F: as my boot drive designation but it
is a bit confusing when you look on My Computer and do not see a drive C:.
I found the following article in the knowledge base. Is this the method I
shou,d use to re-identify my drive as C:? I have removed the old drive from
my system.

Is there an easier, less risky way of re-identifying my drive?
