Drive letter change
 
Hi,

My windows and boot files are on the D: letter.
Now usually i have it on my C: disk.

My question: If i change from D => C will it have any influence for my programs on my windows disk?

how are you going to change the drive letter of your System drive:)

drivemanagment(my computer - managment) or with partitionmagic, y ?

in short: you can't change driveletter of your SYSTEM and BOOT volume.
Drive Managment doesn't allow it; registry hacking is high risk and Part Magic doesn't support it AFAIK.
I settled for reinstalling my system without my USB Memory card reader attached:)

my Windows was on my "h:" drive letter:)

drivemanagment will not change a drive letter of a systemdrive, maybe partitionmagic, but list time i tried that the system wouldn't boot

edit: yes alter ego @ shrimp

I use/have Partitiion Magic; don't do it.

May try using DriveImage to backup the OS partition; move out whatever you have in current Drive C. From Drive Image DOS boot disk to restore O/S to C drive.

Well mine is on D: because my second drive has changed all of his drive letters and was suddenly 'master' disk. So I didn't notice till i checked in windows :).

Now i don't use C: anymore otherwise i get some installs on the wrong partition :grum:
