Drive letter missing

by balak46 . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

I have two problems, they could be related.

Very strange things happened:

I cloned a 40G to 160G; Took out the old and installed another 40G I have been using as a data disk.
The drive letter has been missing when I reboot with the cloned drive. I do not want to remove partition on D:\ until I know what to do. My data is there..?
1. What causes the drive letter change? How will I restore it to its original letter?, i.e., D:\

I used Norton Ghost; did havoc. Got rid of it. Actually got rid of all of Norton Sysworks 2006.

Then I used Acronis (a disk cloner). Cloning was smooth but now this drive letter problem. My 160G drive does not boot and I had recloned 3 times using the old C:\ with proper jumperpin change etc..

The XP disk does not bring up the windows configuration (the blue window) if I try to reboot the new 160G. It is so frastrating.

my 2nd Q is: How will I fix the boot in 160G
