    Post Reassign drive letters in W2K ??

    I'm using a raid pci controller with the attached drives as my primary. Next is an adaptec scsi last is an IDE 14gig.

    Bad thing is that when the fresh install was all said and done it defined the IDE as primary and scsi second with my raid system as the E:drive ???

    How would I reassign these settings within some form of admin mode?

    thanks,

    right click on My Computer, select manage, and go to Disk Management to reassign drive letters, etc.

    "Cannot modify the drive letter of your system or boot volume"??

    This is the error message is tells me when I attempt to change the lettering swapping my local preferred boot drive E to C and the C to a J drive.

    um...you can't change the drive letter of your system partition once it is installed without a 3rd party software
