New Hard Drive Install

[hoffmanron]

I just added a new hard drive, keeping the old one as well. I cloned all files from the old hard drive to the new one and all works well. The new hard drive is set as primary master and the old as primary slave. Here is my problem, my old hard drive is still "C" and the new is F: Vol1. I am self-employed and have my entire work product in my computer. I want to save all of my work to the new drive, but all is being saved to old drive. XP will not let me changed drive letters. Aside from physically directing all of the work to "F" drive, is there anything I can do that will change saving from C toF automatically.

Try putting the old drive on the secondary IDE controller and set it to secondary master. That might work.

I have a cd-rom and burner on that contoller. I would then have to slave them to the hard drives, should I do this?

Usually you want to keep your optical devices on IDE 2..And your hard disks on IDE 1..Reason is because your hard disks run at faster transfer speeds than the optical devices.

I just figured out the problem, I went into the bios and changed the settings to the "optimal default settings" on the IWILL board, it immediatley changed the new drive to "C" and the old to "F". All is well
