Boot disk that can change Win2k3 drive letters?

[Shun Di]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a boot disk, that can let you change the drive letter assignments. I can't boot into Windows because Acronis partition manager screwed up the lettering, and now when Windows boots up and I log in... it logs me right back out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, also anything that can run under BartPE would be great too...

So you can get to the login prompt?

If there was a problem with the letter assignments you wouldn't be able to get that far, Windows wouldn't boot up at all.

Do you get any error messages when you try to login?

if you can access the pc from the network...

use regedt32 to connect to the problem computer and check the user init path statment..

basically make sure that the path is fully qulified

Here is an example....

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"Userinit"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\userinit.exe,"

I do know the letter assignments are messed up because when I checked them, they're different than what they used to be. The only reason I can get to the login prompt is because I hit F8 at the boot up and told windows to boot from the last good session, and that somehow got me to get to the login prompt, but after that I can't do anything.

@Cheif_Powhatan I can't get to it on the network, but I belive BartPE has a remote registry feature that I'll check out.

Thanks for your suggestions so far guys.
