| new HD is recognized as Local Disk E instead of C A Win XP pc suffered a HD crash. Put in new HD and reinstalled. However, the new HD is recognized as Local Disk (E) instead of Local Disk (C). I am having problems with drivers for the Ethernet card and the video and others. Is that because the Local Disk (C) is not there anymore? How do I fix that? Jack      |

Since you have installed Windows on drive E:, you're stuck with this letter unless you prefer to redo the job. |

| Re: new HD is recognized as Local Disk E instead of C To get the new HD recognized as the C Drive, do I need to just reinstall Windows or first reinstall the HD?

| Re: new HD is recognized as Local Disk E instead of C Reinstall Windows AFTER you disconnect/remove the removable drives.
