more problems for me :I
I have installed a new hard drive which is now called Local Disc (G:) .. now when i down load stuff it looks for my C: Drive, which is now assigned to a removeable disk, sometimes i can change the location to the G drive but with some programmes it wont let me (eg New Frontiers).
So my question is, how can i rename my new HD to be a C: drive, i have googled the question but i cant find a definitive (read understandable by an idiot) answer.
Thanks

You can change drive letters in the disk management part of the computer manager.
Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management and there's a subpart Disk Management.
Keep in mind that stuff that is already installed on the disk, that you're changing drive letter off, might not work properly anymore, if there are references in some files or the registry which point to the old drive letter.

aye best bet use PMagic or summit, as Eth said if u jus swap drive letters in windoze your gunna be left with shortcuts all over the show that's looking for data you previoulsy had on C:

My advice is don't reassign anything to c: If you want your new drive it to be your c: drive then do it properly by setting that drive to ide0 and installing your OS onto it.(unless you didnt install your os onto c:) basically don't mess with the drive you installed your OS onto unless your well clued up.Dardalion wrote:more problems for me :I
