I made the mistake of having my secondary drive used for storage of MP3s and such installed into the new PC I'm building while I installed XP onto my main drive, which is an SATA drive. Now my setup is as follows:
C: The older IDE drive, which has only MP3s and backup stuff
D: CDRW
E: The real 'main' SATA drive, which has Windows on it as well as all my installed programs
The problem is, I can't change the drive letters because for some reason the XP installer put the boot sector on the C drive. So I have to set my BIOS to boot from C:, when Windows is actually loading from E:.
Is there any way I can get C: to *not* have my boot information, and put that on E:, so that I can change the letters?
It's not a major thing, but I'd like to have C: be my main drive with Windows on it and put my extra mp3/backup drive as drive letter E or P or Q or something. I keep opening Windows explorer and going into C by accident because that's been my primary drive letter for my entire life.
Is this possible to change without removing the IDE drive and reinstalling Windows all over again?
