XP install not on C

[Guest]

Hi!


I have an WinXP Home OEM on a AMD 1.8, and I changed my hard drive
yesterday to a 250 g Seagate and reinstalled Windows but it installed itself
on my only harddrive and called it F instead of C ...

I have installed all my software but keep getting errors because of this
wrong drive letter...

The letter C is available....

What gives and how can I fix this???

Many thanks

Start>right-click My Computer>Manage>Disk Management>Right-click on
drive to be changed.
Choices are "add", "change", "remove".

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for the quick reply but I tried that already.... It can't be be done
as ''F'' is my root....
Any ideas??

Sounds like you added a hard drive, not changed one.

No need to multi post; it confuses things, cross post if you must

s.o.:
When you installed the XP OS onto your new 250 GB HDD, did you have your
previous boot drive connected? If so, that might explain why the OS assigned
a drive letter other than the typical C to your new HDD. There's really no
practical way to change that drive letter assignment on the new HDD at this
point. You best would start over and fresh install the OS onto the new HDD,
but this time when you do, make sure your previous boot HDD is disconnected
from the system.
