Changing Drive letters

[ajrettke]

Alright, I know this is usualy done in comp mangement, but it won't let me. It says it's a boot volume (which it is).

Instead of C being my boot partition, my D is, and my D drive is now C. I want to change it back because all my shortcuts and playlists point to D and not to C.

Anyone able to help me find a way around this?

I think Partition Magic has a untility that does this.

The only way to do it is to reinstall. You can not change the root drive letter the OS is installed as.

During the Install how do I change the drive letters without losing the data on the drive?

I have an 80gb drive, partition into 12gb, 4gb, and the rest, the one with the rest has my improtant data, the 12gb is for the OS and can be scrubbed...When I do the install it lists the 12gb as drive C automaticaly, and the D as the 60gb and the 4gb as E....

*Edit*
I also found out the 60gb partition is partition 1 during the windows install. No matter what I do I can't get it off that...do I have to hookup another HDD and just copy everything over? I would do this but I don't have an extra HDD with that capacity.
