Drive order wrong, how to change?

Ol!ver · 19 Mar 2006 at 20:34

For some reason the drive order has changed, meaning my IDE drive comes before my SATA, changing the drive letters. Boot order is correct in bios. How do I change it back?

Cheers

Needing to reinstall windows, so the problem I have is it's now calling the SATA drive D:, where it should be C:

Not sure why either, was fine earlier !

Ive used the workaround of just disabling the IDE drive from BIOS, forcing the SATA drive to be C: and it's working fine. Thing that worries me is what's going to happen when I turn the IDE back on, and why has it gone belly up in the first place?

Grrr, how do I always get myself into these states? :confused:

As long as youve installed windows with the SATA drive as C:\, it shouldn't change to something else(touch wood). As already mentioned you can change the drive letters of non system drives from the disk management section.
