Renaming boot disk and reinstallation of XP

[Guest]

Hello,

I have recently built a new PC with a new disk among other things. After
install I notice that the disk is designated I: so i come here to see what to
do. The answer I have found is to do first remove other disks (zip etc) and
then a new install of XP. There seems to be no other way (that I would like
to try) to change the name into C:.
Now the question is do I need to do a clean install, together with
reformating the drive or will a repair installation do?

Thank you.

If Windows was installed on drive I: and if you want it on drive C:
then your only option is a fresh installation. Everything else will
result in an unstable system.
