after building my latest PC I formatted the new system HD while installing XP OS. there were other (removable) drives though and XP Setup labelled them starting with C and my system HD wound up being “I:”. the very first software I tried to install after that croked on the system drive not being C.
while trying to fix it I made an unwanted partition on the system drive. DISKPART and DISKMGMGT wont let me fix or change the partition or the drive letter. I think I could install the drive in another PC and reformat it there, but is there a way(s) for me to fix it? I tried reinstalling windows but it finds that drive as I: and doesn’t offer to reformat it or change its drive letter. I unplugged the other drives – other that CDROM and CDR-W and renumbered them to D and E already as I like them.
please advise.
