coucou Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi,My hard disk (HDD0) partition C:\ is assigned to G:\. I can't access to my Program files, data... I ran Administartive Tools/Disk Management, right click on HDD0 partition G:\, and selected "Change Drive Letter and Path". The system returned this message: "Windows cannon modify the drive letter of your system volume or boot volume"Is there anyhow to reassign the system/boot volume to C:\ via registryor utility???TNXcoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davor Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Now that you have the solution, you mind telling me how you managed to change the letter of your system partition?Greetsdavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elektrik Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 One-two weeks ago I have lost my system after installing another system disk with WinXP for recovery. This disk was installed on IDE#0, my system disk was installed on IDE#1. I had selected the disk for boot over BIOS startup menu (m/b support selection boot drive over F9). Then Windows XP was loaded from my disk, my disk was assigned to G:. After uninstalling another disk, I can not boot from my disk in normal and safe modes. I had no reasons to restore my system on an old disk - I had new Seagate 7200.8 250 Gb and restore WindowsXP on it over HDD`s image on DVDs.

I personally dont think it is possible to move all of windows from one drive letter to another.. Program files directory.. maybe yes.. Documents and settings folder, yes again.. But not all of windows direcotry.. There are sooooo many things to change just that I am aware of.. Probally many more too. Reinstall or restore from a ghost image is definately the best way to go.

HyperHacker Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Kind of off-topic but I'm curious... what would Windows do if you had 27 partitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjz Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 If you did you would need ntfs and you could mount those drives with other things then lettter like special folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
