I used the article HOW TO: Change the System/Boot Drive
Letter in Windows (Q223188) to change the system/boot
drive letter to C: on my system after XP Pro installation
assigned it as F: drive. Unfortunately, upon reboot, I
find that my system will not proceed past the login
screen. I've attempted to use the info in article "Unable
to Log on if the Boot Partition Drive Letter Has Changed
(Q249321)" - but I can't get a connect from the other
peers to try the remote regedit solutions, and the
fdisk /mbr command doesn't seem to be affecting the
problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
