Hard drive problems
Ok, here is a weird one.
I just installed Win2K last night. My system previously had Win98SE installed, so I decided to get a new hard drive to install 2K on, with no intention of dual booting or anything.
The install went smoothly, however when I look in the file explorer I notice that the old drive had C and D assigned, and the new drive had G assigned, with my 2 CD-ROM drives taking E and F.
Now the new drive is installed as the master drive on IDE 1 with the old drive installed as the slave.
Any ideas on how to change or fix this?
One other point, the old drive, which had 2 partitions, was formatted with FAT32, while the new drive was formatted with NTFS.
I'll probably just disconnect the old drive tonight and reinstall, but I am worried that once I reconnect the old drive it will once again mess up the drive letter assignments.
Thanks in advance for any help.
