| 156479 | 2003-07-01 03:34:00 | Re numbering - Go Google - in quotes - "letter assigner" First one does the trick fine, but from memory, in DOS they revert to orignals. So when using PM afterwards, be carefull. Bye |

| 156480 | 2003-07-01 04:52:00 | Yes windows put the other partitions in an extended partition. I tried that with PMagic and it still didn't like it. There is no other drive set as primary master. My new one is master, and the other is slave. That letter assigner program is for Windows 9x/Me only. So it doesn't run :( Keep the answers coming :) |

| 156482 | 2003-07-01 06:26:00 | >Try this one. >www.microsoft.com asp Yes I already know that. :) If you read down more: "You will not be able to change the boot or system drive letter in this manner. Many MS-DOS-based and Windows-based programs make references to a specific drive letter (for example, environment variables). If you modify the drive letter, these programs may not function correctly." Well thats exactly what I want to be able to do! How can I do it? I'm thinking of unplugging the slave drive, and reinstalling windows. Would that work? |

| 156483 | 2003-07-01 09:13:00 | I recently went through all this myself and in the end, because I wanted things done "properly" I unplugged my slave HDD, partitioned the new HDD and formatted C: before a fresh install of Win XP on it . Formatted the other partitions, plugged the slave drive back in (with the original Win XP installation still on it, but now useless as an OS) and they have all played happily ever after since, complete with all the letters in their correct places . I should have done that in the first place as it would have saved me installing Win XP four times for nothing . :p Oh well, it is all good for learning . :-) |

| 156484 | 2003-07-01 12:21:00 | Thankyou Susan. I actually did exactly what you did today, I thought it up out of desperation :) Great minds think alike huh? And I ended up installing Windows XP 5 times (including one repair install) haha. :p |
