I just installed 2 IDE hard drives in my computer, one master and one slave. I installed windows XP on the master and the install went completely textbook but when I go into My Computer the drive letter for the master is set to F and the slave drive is set to C. Why?? Should I just leave it alone or will it cause certain programs to search for files on the wrong drive? I already tried to install Yahoo Messenger and I got an error message saying something about a command line error... Whats going on here?
