I put together a new box it's an amd 1700 on a soyo board and the primary master is a 40 gd wd and the pri slave is a 10 gb wd plus there is a burner on the secondary ide. I let win 2000 format the 40 gb drive and install win 2000. It all went ok, but when I looked in "my computer" the 10 gig was drive c, the cd was d and the 40 gig (which does have the os installed it, not the 10) is drive e. I checked the jumpers, ther seem right and the two hd's are on ide1. I don't get it....anyway after all of this and a lot of head scratching I stuck an old drive in there temporarily (slave on ide2) to get some files off of, took it out and now the cd is drive d, the 40 gig is drive e and the 10 gig is drive f....no drive c. It seems to work fine, but I need to get it straightened out, so the 40 gb is drive c.....any ideas? BTW during boot if you pause it long enough to see what it's listing, it shows the hdd's in the right place.

Thanks!!!

You can change drive letters in Disk Management.

After you do this you may have to edit the boot.ini file so that your computer will boot up right.
