| 471135 | 2006-07-15 09:26:00 | I finaly plucked up the nerve and partitioned my C drive, but now all the 'drive letters' have changed. :eek: C:\ is now on the other HD and contains all my program files and only them. Computer management won't let me rename the new C partition as it assumes that it is still the 'System' partition. Windows XP Home. I have installed the OS on a free partition on the second HD so that I am free to work on drive 0. I am very unfamiliar with DOS and don't know how to fix this: hoping it can be fixed, so that I can restore the Ghost image of my system. :help: :help: |

| 471136 | 2006-07-15 09:32:00 | So you have 2 separate drives? One currently stuffed up and one with everything ok? Then do the partitioning for the first messed up drive again. Then ghost over from the other drive to the PARTITION on the first drive. |

| 471137 | 2006-07-15 11:58:00 | The problem is that ALL partitions are involved, (on both discs). C:\ is now in the middle of disc 2, and is full of my program files; it was F:\ before the partitioning of C:\. :waughh: | Vince (406) | ||
| 471138 | 2006-07-15 23:49:00 | How did you partition your C drive, ie what program did you use? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 471139 | 2006-07-16 00:38:00 | How many primary partitions have you and how many extended and on which drives? How many logical drives are in the extended partitions? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 471140 | 2006-07-16 05:10:00 | Well if its that much of a mess then move all your data to one drive and start fresh with the other. Then move data to the first one and sort the second. | pctek (84) | ||
| 471141 | 2006-07-16 10:56:00 | How did you partition your C drive, ie what program did you use? I worked from the XP instalation disc. I am prety there was no option to assign a 'letter' to the new partition when it was created. |

| 471143 | 2006-07-16 11:29:00 | How many primary partitions have you and how many extended and on which drives? How many logical drives are in the extended partitions? There are 2 primary and 1 extended on each drive. Drive 0 has 1 logical + unalocated, and Drive 1 has 3 logical. If I can get C:\ back to its home base then I will be OK. :) |

| 471144 | 2006-07-16 21:20:00 | I worked from the XP instalation disc. I am prety there was no option to assign a 'letter' to the new partition when it was created. Was this on an empty hard drive? I must be thick because I really don't understand exactly what you did to get in this situation. :confused: |
