What you see in add/remove doesn't make a darn bit of difference. Windows Update is what counts. If it's offered to you as a critical update, you should take it.
In XP, you change drive letters in Disk Management. |

I like several small drives. I use 40GB & 60GB drives in my PC. If for example you need 200GB, I would install five 40GB drives. The logic is if a 200GB drive dies all info is lost. If you have five 40Gb drives and one dies you only loose 20% of the info. Any comments on this logic?
Regards Bugnut

tweek UI will remove the entry from showing up in add/Remove programs so you don't have to look at it leaving the installation in tact.
enjoy

I run two WD 7200rpm 120gb HDD and i haven't even begun to cut into the first one...let alone the second which is sitting empty and unused.
If it were more commercially viable, it would be good to see computer companies make multiple HDD easier to manage, install and use. I bought the two because i couldn't be bothered waiting for the shop to order in a 250gb and it was cheaper this way anyway, but its major shortfall is that it's on two different drives, not one bulk lump of raw space. At the time i considered buying one and waiting 6 months until i had filled the first, and then buying the second, but decided to leave the hard part (configuring the buggers) up to the PC shop, and i could just reap the benefits, but if manufacturers made a simple PnP way of using HDD's in large numbers, and an easy way to recognise them as ONE drive, and the ability to just shove a new one in, run setup and be done with it, then sales of HDD's would jump and people would have less of a need for CDRW's, creating convenience, and a better environment. |

slow down Thomas "and an easy way to recognise them as ONE drive" I partition like crazy not to recognize my dirves as one. Why would you want to?
I like the way my multi drives are addressed. Cant think of a better way. |
