Changing drive letters in XP?

[mangled]

Probably something really simple, but I have several partitions on one drive, and installed a new hard drive with the OS.

I really want the OS to be drive C, but it's not. Can I easily change the drive letters around and will it have any effect on files or programs by changing the drive letters that they're on?

Go to Administrative tools/computer management/disk management and you can resassign drive letters to your hearts content.

thanks....but it won't let me change the letter of the drive the OS is on...

Look on MS's knowledge base for Q223188 - "How to change the System/Boot drive letter in Windows 2000". I am sure XP has the same behavior.

I looked into this a few weeks ago and all leads said that you can't reassaign the drive letter on which the OS is installed.

I had to reformat/reinstall to get it the way I wanted.
