I just installed the OEM version of WinXP Pro and I have 2 hard drives. When I finished the install process I saw that my main drive has a drive letter of D: instead of C:. There used to be a way of changing this in device manager can someone point me in the right direction so I can swap the drive letters of my two hard drives it is not a big deal just a little annoyance. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

right-click 'My Computer' and go to 'Manage'. Browse to 'Storage->Disk Management'. Right-click on the drive and choose 'Change Drive Letter and Path...'

OP
That stinks o'well I will leave it as is until it seems to cause a problem or I have to reinstall thanks for your help I don't know why it did this but it does not cause any problems with the system. I tried to change the second drive to another letter to free up the C: thinking that when I restarted it would move the main drive to C: but that did not work thanks for all you help.
That's happened to my dad in Win2k, but he doesn't care since his system runs fine anyway. It's a quirk that's annoying at worst. I suppose if yer really picky, it's a big deal, but there's other things that bug me more. It's not messing anything up, so I don't care.
