This is more of a workaround, but if your boot drive is now F: or E: and many of
your registry paths point to the old "C:" drive. you can update your regisrty with
the replace option on a program called Registry crawler. I cloned a defective drive
and replaced it with a new 80GB drive, but XP made the boot drive F: all my programs
didn't work. I was manually chaning the registry but it has 4000 references to c:\.
this program made the changes in about 10 minutes. Now everything is working fine
including those progs that were looking for the c: drive whihc is now gone. Hope
this helps
