Installation ended up on the wrong drive

[zapmaster]

Hey Gang,

Well what happen is that the CD rom doesn't work and the laptop didn't come with a floppy drive

So I used a 4 gig flash jumper to install the I386 files to the D drive. But due a timeing out during

the first install XP changed the HD from fat32 to NTFS and when it came to formating the drive I was

Going to have XP do it for me and when i got to that part I forgot I had the Flash in and noticed one of the

drive needed NTFS so I though while I was at this window I would get the E drive formated and go back to do

the C drive...... little did I know once you pick a the Drive letternon formated drive you can't go back :} so now

my boot drive is E how do I get it back to C? XP thinks the C drive is the Boot drive and won't let me change

it and the E boot drive won't let me change because it has system files on it.

Thanks guys

Reinstalling properly would be easier.

It is possible to change a Boot or System Volume letter, but really, really tricky and really NOT advised.

And be very careful, even a minor error could (and probably will ) lead to an unbootable system.
