shineon134 0 Posted October 14, 2001 I just installed the OEM version of WinXP Pro and I have 2 hard drives. When I finished the install process I saw that my main drive has a drive letter of D: instead of C:. There used to be a way of changing this in device manager can someone point me in the right direction so I can swap the drive letters of my two hard drives it is not a big deal just a little annoyance. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. shineon Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted October 14, 2001 right-click 'My Computer' and go to 'Manage'. Browse to 'Storage->Disk Management'. Right-click on the drive and choose 'Change Drive Letter and Path...' BUT - you cannot change the drive letter of system or boot volumes, so if you want to swap your drives, you're gonna have to reinstall... Share this post Link to post
shineon134 0 Posted October 14, 2001 That stinks o'well I will leave it as is until it seems to cause a problem or I have to reinstall thanks for your help I don't know why it did this but it does not cause any problems with the system. I tried to change the second drive to another letter to free up the C: thinking that when I restarted it would move the main drive to C: but that did not work thanks for all you help.

Brian Frank 0 Posted October 14, 2001 That's happened to my dad in Win2k, but he doesn't care since his system runs fine anyway. It's a quirk that's annoying at worst. I suppose if yer really picky, it's a big deal, but there's other things that bug me more. It's not messing anything up, so I don't care. Share this post Link to post
