Remove drive reference from registry

by rcp2215 . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

Folks:
A vexing problem: installed new SATA hd in server (set BIOS to make it boot disk) & did clean install of XP Pro SP3 to it. After install, boot drive was N: instead of C: -it worked fine, so I didn’t care. Some months later, on start-up, XP spontaneously renamed the boot drive C: but left all N:\ references in registry. PC boots ok, lots of apps don’t work since they’re linked to non-existant N:. I need to change ALL references to N: in registry to C: so apps work again. Many won’t uninstall/reinstall since they can’t find N:\ files.
I appreciate your help.
