got a problem, probably simple

[ashenfang]

Just built a new rig for my mom. Here are the two problems i am having.

The floppy drive, during boot up gets an error 40. The system stops booting. I can get around this by going to the bios and telling it not to hault on any errors. However, the light on the drive stays consistantly lit.

I put in two hard drives in the computer. The new one (Set to master) and the second one (set to slave, this was from her old computer) I installed windows on the new drive, every thing went good, got into windows and see that the new drive is drive F: and the old drive is drive C: I took out the old drive after I was done transfering files, reboot the computer, get into windows that the new drive is still drive F: how do i change its name to drive C?

Thanks alot!

Floppy: Try flipping the connector around 180 degrees.

Drive lettering: Download TweakUI and under the My Computer tab, you can set which letters are availiable for use. (Might only work for XP Though).
