GA-K8VM800M SATA boot drive not named C:\
I have a GA-K8VM800M MB with a 64 bit 3000+ processor and when I
installed the Sata drive( WD 250 Gig) as the boot drive I had problems until I moved the IDE drive that was IDE0 Primary Master to Slave. Then it acknowledged the SATA as the boot drive but named it as G:\ and the IDE slave as C:\. Strange as it may seem I'm not used to seeing the boot drive as anything but C:\. How do I get this changed back to the SATA as C:\? Oh yeah, in the BIOS I have the SATA as IDE and not Raid. Does this have anything to do with it? If I install another IDE ( or SATA ) drive can I install it as IDE0 Primary Master without causing a conflict? (Naturally the SATA drive would be SATA2 ) Thanks in advance

No, you screwed up on the installation process, as a result your boot drive
is no longer C wrote in message ... Do I really have to reinstall Windows or can I just boot up with the IDE drive disconnected? Or maybe not a complete reinstall?

Windows won't allow you to change the drive letter of a boot drive. Stephen
