I recently had to RMA my hard drive, so when I got it back I had to reinstall xp. I went through the installation, but when I boot into windows I have the following in 'my computer':
a:floppy
c:zip drive
d:cd drive
e:windows installation
I also noticed that when I go into windows explorer, the folders icons are gone that usually go along side of the folder name. Do I have a screwed up installation, or is this kind of stuff normal when working with microsoft products? Also, when I try to install my motherboard drivers from the manufacturer cd, it gives me an error that it cannot read some of the files, and the driver installation gui comes up blank. I can install the drivers one by one, but I would like to know if it is even worth my time if I have a screwed up installation. I'm not sure if I should reinstall to try and get my windows installation to be on the c: drive, or maybe just live with it. Any help would be great. Here are my system specs:
EPoX 8RDA3+ nforce2 motherboard
PNY GeForce FX5900 128 MB
AMD XP Barton 2500+ oc'd to 3200+
1GB Corsair XMS 3200
Maxtor 120GB SATA HDD
Liteon 24x cdrw
100MB ZIP drive
Mitsumi Floppy
450W PSU
TIA
