lost drive letter
Hello all
I'm running xp home and installed a second hard drive for storage. everything went well until I tried using Norton ghost to backup my C drive. somehow I lost everything and had to reformat. When I got it up and going again my main original hard drive, local disk C is now called the I drive (it only has the one partition) my 2nd drive has 3 partitions which were labeled G H J. I would like to get the C drive letter back but when I went into comp. management it will not permit that particular drive letter to change. also before I had to reinstall the operating sys I remember My C drive having a small fat32 allotment with the rest being NTFS. My new I drive is strictly NTFS see attachment Thanks in advance |

boot xp from cd which will bring up the logical drive manager after the startup. From there you will have to manually delete all of your partitions into raw unpartitioned space and then to a high level format of NTFS which will reformat your partitions, which should restore it to the letter C.
