View Full Version : Trouble after innstalling a 2nd HD

I recently innstalled a 2nd HD on my PC.
The 1st HD is partioned like this:
c: used for WIN98
d: used for Softwareinnstallation
e: used for Data ( pics, vids, text etc........)

After buying and innstalling a 2nd HD,
this HD (and its only partition) took the driveletter D:, which resulted in giving the Softwarepartition the driveletter E: and the Datapartition the letter F:
This results in that no program will start because its installation refers to the drive D:.
Is there, besides reinnstalling all the software, any easier way to solve this problem??

u should check that the new hard drive doesn't have a primary partition. Instead make the partiton extended - then win98 should give an F: drive letter. There are other ways...but i don't remember how to go about those in win98... i'm sure someone else will mention those here.
