ODC Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm installing Windows XP on a new motherboard with a new HDD. It is appearing as the H drive. I want C drive. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 unplug all your drives except the one you want windows on and reinstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 unplug all your drives except the one you want windows on...and the one you install Windows from (CD DVD).You probably have a (5in1?) card reader that takes the first drive letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODC Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 The problem turned out to be a drive emulation mode (SATA->PATA) in the BIOS. After disabling this option, windows once again claimed the C: drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
