RE: Naming Disk Drives in Sequence
I read the above Thread on "Naming Disk Drives in Sequence" and the reply from tphillips63. but.... I went into Disk Management and:
When I followed these instructions I got: "Warning Changing the drive letter of a volume might cause programs to no longer run. Are you sure you want to change this drive letter?" So I cancelled it and thought I better check first.
History: Dell recently installed new mother board in my XPS 400. I had bought a new Hard drive from Dell and she installed WinXP Pro on the new hard drive so that I could retrieve data from my old hard drive at a later date (My old hard drive wasn't working properly at the time, but has since been fixed and formatted to use as a slave drive and it is Drive (C:) but has no Operating System on it, it's just formatted and blank after saving my files from it to the desktop on (I:) )
When Windows was installed on the new drive it came up as (I:) instead of (C:) I want to change (I:) to (C:). So I followed the instructions in the post and tried to rename Drive (C:) to (K:) (that's when I got the warning) Then I could change (I:) to (C:) and then rename other drives so I can get my DVD and DVDR back to Drives (D:) and (E:)
When I installed the drivers from my resource disk, it wanted to install them to (C:) so I had to rename them to (I:) in order to install them. If I go ahead and change the drive letters despite the warning, is this going to cause any problems now?
Thanks for any help
Ron
