Renaming Harddrive

[LW]

Apparently, when Windows Xp was installed (on a new hard
drive), it named my HD E: instead of C:.

Is it a big deal to rename it C: without causing
problems? Or is there a configuration issue?

Disconnect external drive and reinstall.

Hello
You can not change the drive letter of the system main drive.
You will have to do a complete install to change the drive letter if you
want to change it.
You must have did the install with a zip drive of some other internal or
external drive connected.
When doing an install it is best to disconnect everything other then Rom
drives, harddrives, monitor, keyboard & mouse.

Actually, it was a brand new Hard Drive & new Windows XP
Operating System on the clean disk.

What can happen if I change the name?

It won't let you.

What can happen if I change the name?

But the principal is exactly the same. Keep an external (non optical) drive
connected during the installation and the drive letters will be incorrect.

.
just right click your mouse onto the drive you want to

rename and scroll down to rename and left click to open
