Re: Changing Drive Letters



From: "Badbird" <Badbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| I have two physical drives, which have been partitioned into three logical
| drives each. When I installed Windows XP the Drives were assigned thus:
|
| Drive 0: C, E, F
| Drive 1: D, G, H
|
| I would like to change the drive letters to:
|
| Drive 0: C, D, E
| Drive 1: F, G, H
|
| How can I accomplish this, and are there any problems I should be aware of
| first? I've installed all my software on 'C' drive, and the only other thing
| I've done is to creat a pagefile on one of the other logical drives.
|
| Thank you for the help.

You can change the Drive Letters but if anthing in the Registry is point to those locations
they will get fouled up.
