Hi, I have windows 98 and have just installed windows xp
on this machine. I am familiar with XP. My prob is i
accidently installed the XP to a partition with it's
drive letter K: (i have many partitions). with the disk
managment console i cannot change that drive letter cos
it says it's a system or boot partition.I would like to
change it to D:\ so that i can have at least the OS
drives (98 and XP) next to each other. I like to have
everything organized and easy to use which is why i have
many partitions which contain only one kind of thing like
games as drive G: multimedia as drive M: storage space
for users as U: etc.
 this partition is NTFS and it's a dual boot machine. is
there any way to do this or might there be 3rd party
software that could do it?
Kevin
