Q: I recently had a fresh install of Win XP Pro (after formatting the HD) and installing your hard drive as F: instead of C: Now, I know that no other matter than the fact that I like my hard drive on C: but why does this happen and how can I get HD back to C:?
Windows top of the Zip as C:, as the DVD-D:, and CD-RW E:. I could disconnect all but I still need a CD for Win XP.
Any help would be nice. Thank you

Re:Thanks for the help. Ah well, I guess I just get more practice doing a clean install. Internal zip goes bye bye for a bit.

Re:you can't change xp boot drive drive letter in disk management.
I agree with the zip drive as the route cause of the problem!

Re:If zip drive is seen in Disk Management then you "may" be able to change the drive letter assignments there. I have rearranged drive letters there (I just did it Friday on one system) but I have never tried it on "C:" so I'm not totally sure if it will work. To get to the Disk Management section to try this, right click My Computer, select Manage and then Disk Management. In the window in the bottom right, right click the square that says Disk 0, Disk1, etc and see if there is a change drive letter option.

Re:That is purely because of the Zip drive
We have found at work that having the Zip drive connected while installing Windows XP will cause the main hdd to be the last drive letter.
As it's a clean install, you unplug the Zip drive, reinstall Windows, then plug the Zip back in (no need to disconnect other cd drives)
