Does anyone have any recommendations for moving a W2K Server install on physical drive D to physical drive C? I have used Ghost to move partition 1 on drive D to partition 1 on drive C, but I need an easy way to modify all the references to drive Din the registry to drive C.

Thanks.

Hello there,

It's going to be hard to rename all references in registry, but you can do a trick: assign the install volume on physical drive C letter D. That means you'll have the system on volume D, but on new (C) physical device.
For instructions read: Change the System/Boot Drive Letter in Windows (Q223188) at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q223188
(remove all spaces if any)

Thus you won't need any other registry editing than mounting the drive.

If you have any prob's/q's, feel free to mail me because there's not enough information on your Q.

Have fun.
