| 887412 | 2010-05-23 08:24:00 | Only prob with that, if you've installed any programs on D and you change it to C (if you can), whatever programs you've installed may not work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 887413 | 2010-05-23 08:27:00 | that dosent matter, i can fix that by going into the properties of the shortcuts at putting a c where the d is. it wont take too long | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 887414 | 2010-05-23 08:31:00 | OK. Go fix it then. | Sweep (90) | ||

Since most programs also put info in the registry. You would have to go into the registry and change all the entries the programs have added |

| 887416 | 2010-05-23 08:39:00 | It may have helped if the OP had said what partitions are on the drive(s) and whether extended or primary and etc. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 887417 | 2010-05-23 08:40:00 | im not worried. i just need to know how to change the drive letters. i can reinstall the little software i have. the games arent that important | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 887418 | 2010-05-23 08:41:00 | they are separate hard drives. the boot drive is a 120gb but it shows as 116gb. an the secondary is 160gb and shows as 149gb | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 887419 | 2010-05-23 08:56:00 | they are separate hard drives. the boot drive is a 120gb but it shows as 116gb. an the secondary is 160gb and shows as 149gb Which is fairly normal but says nothing about how the drives are partitioned. |
