my hard drive died and i installed a new one. when Windows XP finished installing, it now shows my new hard drive as G: instead of C my current system contains: the new hard drive (on primary IDE channel by itself) 2nd hard drive (H Ultra Internal media reader incl. Floppy drive DVD-Rom DVD-RW i've tried changing the G to C in the Admin. section but it won't let me change it. is there any way to do this without re-formatting? and what would make it do this in the first place so i can try to avoid it if reformat is necessary? thanks for any info... sher
