In order to get Window eyes 7.2 properly re installed on my BSN (brand spanking new)hard drive, a WD 15ears, replacing the Seagate that came up toast last week.
I have the drive installed and WinXP SP3 installed, all hardware installed, including that ever so useful sound card I install WE. Perfect. Ready to move on. Which includes adding a second internal hd to serve as internal backup device. So I shut down, install the other drive in the box. The drive is already formatted and contains a few backup files I'm looking forward to restoring to the new drive. Windows comes back fine. Only a quick check of Explorer shows the old backup drive I just installed is now drive C: and the new WD 15ears which contains the boot record or system files, Windows XP SP3 and all the software that has been installed up to now, including Window Eyes, , is now drive L: I can not change the drive letter assignments back in the Control Panel Admin Tools computer Management disc Management change the drive letters because of their being boot volumes. Window eyes is now running sluggishly and I hesitate to move forward with system restoration before this drive letter assignment issue is resolved. I believe the solution lies in CMOS settings where boot sequences of devices is established. As in, tell the system which volume serial number to consider the first drive. Of course there is the challenge of the CMOS settings with a screen reader. grin. My tech who did the part of the job where vision is mandatory feels Partition Magic is the solution. I think CMOS holds the key. Help! Sincerely, Donald E.
