I have reloaded windows XP Pro on my main hard-drive. I also have card readers. After the reload, windows shows my windows drive now as drive K:. If I boot back up to the install cd and it asks me to do a repair install, it shows the disk as C:\Windows. How can I make windows show the drive letter as C: instead of K:?
Thanks,
Chad

Disconnect everything that looks like a hard drive (memory card readers). Leave only the CD/DVD drive and then re-install Windows on the intended boot drive.

Going to have to do a full reload....be sure the install partition is seen as C: before you install...
