Incorrect Drive Letter
 

I've just reinstalled XP Pro with SP2 and find my Drive letter is "F",
not "C". I tried comp management but it says it cant change the letter
of the boot drive. Is there a way around this please.
Only 1 Hard-drive partitioned into 2x40G partitions. Second one not
formatted or anything.(Unallocated)
Any assistance appreciated.
Ross

do you have a multi-format memory card reader fitted? If so, disconnect it,
re-install XP, and it will come up as drive C. The reconnect card reader.

Good Lord, that's a glitch that's going to catch a few people out. But,
of course, we can be sure there's a Microsoft patch on its way sometime
this decade to solve it.

A PC I built for a friend currently has the 1st HD as drive G, that's how I
found it ;-)
Bit annoying, to say the least.
