Hi,
I'm doing a new install of XP Pro on my existing disk which has data I want
to keep. For some kind of reason another partition than the original one is
now called C:. During XP setup I can choose where I want to install and it
looks like this:
D: Partition1 (SYSTEM) [NTFS] 7170 MB ( 7131 MB free)
E: Partition2 (PROGRAMS) [NTFS] 19454 MB ( 18318 MB free)
C: Partition3 (DATA1) [NTFS] 45308 MB ( 8580 MB free)
F: Partition4 (DATA2) [NTFS] 45308 MB ( 18826 MB free)
The C: en F: partitions (labeled "DATA1" and "DATA2") contain data I wish to
preserve. I want the partition which is now D: to be C: so that the new
configuration would be:
C: Partition1 (SYSTEM) [NTFS] 7170 MB ( 7131 MB free)
D: Partition2 (PROGRAMS) [NTFS] 19454 MB ( 18318 MB free)
E: Partition3 (DATA1) [NTFS] 45308 MB ( 8580 MB free)
F: Partition4 (DATA2) [NTFS] 45308 MB ( 18826 MB free)
How can I make this change? Remember I'm in XP setup so Disk Management is
no option. What makes Windows think that the third partition should be named
C:?
Thank you,
Darth Elvis
