I just added a new HD for storage and all the drive letters except C: has been bumped down and my games give the, error reading cd-rom. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling all the games? Thanks!:)

The only thing I can think of it just manually switching all the drive letters back to what they were.

Go to System Properties | Device Manager and bring up the properties for your CD drive. You can specify a drive letter there to restore it to what it used to be. Reboot your system.

Thank's Guy's!:) But! What I wanting to do is to try to find where the games stores it's info.. In other words, where the game goes to find the Drive Letter to access the CD-Rom. I have checked the games folders for any information that might allow me to change where it looks for the CD with no luck. I have also checked the registry under there entries with no luck. If you reinstall a game on top of it's self,the error messege is no longer there.. I know lot's of other people have seen this message before. Thank's Again!!;)

Partition magic has a utility called drive mapper, you can specify what the drive letter used to be and what it is now and it'll do the rest..
