Ok, as a starter my C: Drive was hit by the fun love virus. Ok I thought, I have my D: drive as my backup, and I was going to format anyway, so no big deal.
So what I was going to do was install WinXP on my C: drive as a new install, and everything would be ok, and I'd have D: to backup all my files.
Well it didn't work out so good, because after running winnt.exe the files would start copying over, and then freeze halfway. It said I needed "dos smartdrive" to complete it or something, and I had no idea what that was.
So I thought ok, I had a win98 CD, so I'd install that onto my D: drive, and then through windows I would install XP onto my C: drive. I got it installed, but once I plugged in my C: drive it wouldn't work becuase it thought my BLANK drive was C: and my win98 install was C: also, but it bumped it to D:. So I can't boot without unplugging my D: backup drive. Now how do I change this? I want to change the drive letters so it recognizes D: as a D: drive, and I really don't want to reformat it. I can't. Can I change it in fdisk? I couldn't find an option. So I just plugged in my lone C: drive, for some reason I couldn't even BOOT off my win98 install on my D: drive becuase it would say NTLDR missing.
So, my question is, my win98 install is on my C: drive, and how can I plug in my D: drive and make it recognize it as D: and this drive as C: so I could boot up windows?
