I just had my computer's hard drive wiped and my Windows
XP Home Edition reinstalled. It is partitioned, with
Drive C (10GB) and Drive D (20 GB)However, the tech.put
Drive C as the main operating drive and I want Drive D to
be my main operating drive. Can anyone tell me how to do
that?
Thanks very much.
 
You would have to start over from scratch and delete all
partitions, create new ones, then reinstall Windows XP
on your D: drive.

Any particular reason for wanting this configuration? If its a space
consideration, you can use partitioning software to resize the current
partitions leaving XP on the C drive. If it is for another reason, you will
need to start over.
Supply more info for more options.
