If Windows thinks the partition that it installs itself onto is D: when you do the install, it is D: forevermore. Trying to re-letter that one will blow up the whole OS in my experience.

Thus my point. Microsoft is the _ONLY_ O/S company (left, that they haven't "extinguished") that uses drive letters, so you'd think that all their O/S's (all their programmers) could agree on how to letter drives. > The real question is, if you're rebuilding a machine, why are you > putting a > legacy OS onto it.

Where's that "stress reliever" program so I can take a gun to you? But I'm at work, so I don't feel too bad.) Ian
