Server drive letters help please,

[edscdk]

Via a rather amusing series of events our server has decided its C: is really E:

windows boots but when you log in it logs you back off again,

we have bootable bartpe type cd's so could boot from CD and modify the registry.

can anyone suggest a way to get the current e: back to being C:

After some more searching I think I found the answer... sorry to trouble anyone....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedD* evices

Find the drive letter you want to change to (new). Look for "\DosDevices\C:".

Right-click \DosDevices\C:, and then click Rename. In Windows 2000 you must use Regedit instead of Regedt32 to rename this registry key.

Rename it to an unused drive letter "\DosDevices\Z:". (This will free up drive letter C: to be used later.)

Find the drive letter you want changed. Look for "\DosDevices\D:".

Right-click \DosDevices\D:, and then click Rename.

Rename it to the appropriate (new) drive letter "\DosDevices\C:".

Click the value for \DosDevices\Z:, click Rename, and then name it back to "\DosDevices\D:".
