re: Changing Primary/Boot Drive Drive Letter Sunday, November 3, 2002 at 8:20 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Harry Frank (2 messages posted) Thanks for the prompt reply. Followed your instructions (after checking regedt32 to make sure I had full permissions). Now, my machine locks up at boot-up. Everything progresses through the black DOS screens and the WIN XP load-up screens to the blue screen with the small XP logo that usually appears just before my desktop comes up. Have mouse access, but that's all. Thought about doing an XP re-install, but didn't know if I should do a full install or a recovery. Thoughts . . . ?
