This may not apply in your situation, but if the machine has both the old and new disks installed, you may be able to trick windows into resetting the applicable settings by disconnecting the old drive. Sometimes, booting to a new drive with the old drive still installed, windows will "see" the old drive and think that's where it's supposed to be. If the old drive is absent, it will adapt to it's new home. After a successful boot with the old drive disconnected, you should be able to reconnect the old drive and reboot - and it will have "forgotten" all about the old drive. If you have moved windows from one partition to another on the same hard drive, or if the new location is not the same partition number as the original, then things get a little more complicated. You may also need to modify boot.ini. Adelle. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
