When you installed the OS on the new drive, did you install from the XP CD?

Also, does the system have multiple partitions on the drive? This could cause drive letters to bump up when installing the OS.

I have the exact same GX-150 replacing hard drive (different ones) and with XP Pro always get E: as the hard drive letter, which I happily live with.
