How do I change my one hard-drive from letter "I" to letter "C" in Win XP SP2?

I installed Win XP on a freshly formatted SATA hard drive (only hard drive in my PC). Windows chose letter "I", not "C". ("C", "D", "E", and "F"


letters are assigned to the four flash memory slots. "G" %26amp; "H" are assigned to the two DVD drives. All drive letter assignments were done


by Windows, not me.)





http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223188 doesn't seem to apply ... my "I" is *not* the result of


a drive letter change.





Computer Management / Admin / Storage / Disk Management / Change Drive Letter


won't let me do it, saying "Windows cannot


modify the drive letter of your system volume".





Other than unplugging the USB cables internally


(disabling the four flash card slots) and reinstalling from scratch, is there a solution?


(Even then, I fear that my optical drives might


be given letters C and D :)





thanks,


Stan

You can not change the drive letter on which the OS sits. You will have to reinstall windows but when you do so unplug your card reader and this will fix the problem. I have ran into this problem so many times.





Hope this helps! and Good Luck!
