Windows XP Home install's on E:

[Jack]

I just installed Win XP Home Full Version on a new WD
Hard drive 120GB. When I was done installing it, I went
into My Computer and saw that the Hard Drive was E: and
not C: WHY????? And how do I fix this?

Thanks for any idea's.

Because you had an external drive attached whilst installing. Remove the
drive and perform a repair installation. Windows won't install on an
external drive, but it will count it as the first drive it 'sees' -
therefore always disable external drives (whatever they might be) before
installation.
