update FIXED: HELP!!!: drive letters change on me to prevent me from booting winxp
Basically I have two sets of raid connected to 4 hard drives that are attached to a pci raid card and 2 other drives that are used to back up data that are connected to the onboard ide channel. The other channel is used for optical drives.
Now when I installed the os I made one of the raid set contain the os, but the system detected this raid as hard drive 2.
hard drive 0 hd attached to the onboard channel
hard drive 1 hd attached to the onboard channel
hard drive 2 raid set on the pci card
hard drive 3 raid set on the pci card
so therefore it also wanted me to format hard drive 0 which will contain boot info.
So hd 3 is C:
hd 4 is D:
hd 0 is E:
hd 1 is F:
I loaded the os fine on C and was working with if for a few days. I wanted to OC more so I rebooted the system and change the voltage. Some how when I did this my drive letters change:
hd 0:C
hd 1: D
hd 2:E <---contains os
hd 3:F
So now it doesnt detect my os because the boot.ini thinks that my os is at C which it isnt now.
my question is how do I change my drive letters?
