• Changing Drive Letter
    3 replies, posted
Hello all Some may know I'm running Win7 at the moment but there's one thing that pisses me off. When I am on 7 (on its own partition) It thinks that said partition is the "C" drive. However when I boot into Vista (the other partition) it thinks ITS "C" this causes a few issues for some of my programs which I dont have the CD's for anymore because they only like running from the C drive. I was wondering if there is a way to change the drive letter of the boot-drive/partition without having to format and start again...
Start-->Right Click Computer-->Manage-->Disk Management-->Right click on the drive-->Change drive letter and paths.

AFAIK there's no way to change the letter of the drive where Windows is installed (you'd break a ton of stuff) and I don't know any way to force it to use a particular drive letter when you install Windows. tl;dr: I think you're out of luck, sorry
