lynchknot Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hello, I installed a new, larger, WD HD and used drive image to make a copy of C. These are my issues. Please help. ThanksMy desktop is H but the program files is C so everything is all mixed up. I changed the label of each drive but it now says DriveC(H) How do I change H to C (not just the label) - I only changed the jumpers - do I really need to swap cable ends? **edit -I will change it**edit - I switched cable ends and rebooted and got boot error. I put cables back - boot ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynchknot Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 The lifeguard CD that came with the HD does not do anything when I try to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
