If someone can educate me on this,I would rally appreciate it.I had a new Western 40 gig HDD,and an old 250 mb HDD installed on my pc.The new one was the primary master,and the old one the primary slave.Within a couple of days,the new one crashed.I replaced it with a Maxtor 40 gig,with the exact same configuration.When I installed XP,it rearranged my drive designations.The old 250mb became drive C:,and the new one drive F:,with the cdrom,and burner in between.I did the partitioning,and the formatting from the XP installation.Somehow some of the XP files got copied to the old HDD as well as the new one.There may have been an option to do something that I did not notice.At any rate,I tried using disk management to change drive letters.It let me change all but drive F:,got a message about being the boot device,and could not change.Could someone possibly explain what I did,so I do not repeat the mistake in the future,and can I possibly correct this without a XP re-install?...I have a feeling it might have something to do with the MBB,but I'm not 100% sure of anything.....Thanks in advance.🙂

 
Thanks,
Been a real nightmare getting this new box going.Problems everywhere.I have switched so much hardware,and operating Systems,that I can't even keep track anymore.Too much new technology at once, for an old timer..🙂
