How do I change drive letter I:\ to C:\ ?

wsh · 31 Aug 2006 at 22:29

I've bought a new HDD and have transfered C:\ to it using the Seagate tools. Now I want I:\ to become C:\ ,my boot drive. Administrative tools won't allow it. How do I go about changing the drive letter?

(I have the new HDD running via a Serial ATA PCI controller card)

I dont want to do a fresh windows install though. (This installation has been good since winter 2001!) The data on I:\ is exactly the same as C:\

I took out the cable and power to c:\ and told the BIOS of my ancient Abit KR7A-133 to boot from raid133 (although the drive is actually SATA 150 connected to a RAID PCI card) and the windows black screen came up with boot options saying there was a registry error. I select boot normally and the windows 98 boot screen appears and doesn't go! Not seen that in years. WTF!

Just to let everyone know, I had success with Acronis True Image.
