Hey there I would like to know if there is a way to change the letter of

an
hard disk with Windows xp installed.
Besides Partition Magic.


Sure - Settings/Control pAnel/admin tools/Computer management/Disk
management. Highlight disk and hit right mouse button - pop up menu
says change drive letter.

I cant remember though if you can change the C drive.


You can't change the drive letter of the system or boot volume using Disk
Management :-)

Also it warns you changing the letter may make installed programs ,
not run properly.

Also obviously if another drive -a CDROM is drive D: you cant change a
HD to D: until you change the CDROM to another drive letter, its
taken. CHange it to J or something and then change the HD and then
change the CDROM to another letter if all the letters are temporarily
taken by another drive.
