Have D:& E: avail on hotrod card looked to 46 gig IBM ATA 100 DRIVEso installed win 2000 to D:
but win 2000 has decided to make D: E: and E: F: so I have problems with installed apps notpointing to the correct drives is there an easy way to fix twin 98 apps are in c:program files and win 2000 apps are in the win 2000 program files

This is pretty easy to do, though I've not used it.
Go into Control Panel, open Administrative tools, click on Computer Management, go to Storage->Disk Management. Right click on the drives that you want to change the letters. The menu that comes up should have "Change Drive Letter and Path".

I'd just let it be then, unless you will go insane because of it.
