re: Question about 'Designate Your Own Drive Letters' Thursday, August 28, 2003 at 10:26 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tracy (1 messages posted) My main fear is screwing up paths of any installed items so far. I don't have any CD-dependant things loaded yet- does this path confusion apply to hard disc loaded prog's also? I did go into disk management in XP & tried to click-on/change the "G" drive- I got a window saying I cannot change this drive as it's the system drive? In another forum, my answers have included: Using a utility in Partition Magic 8, also to unplug all my stuff, plug them back in in the order I prefer (rebooting between)- which sounds simple enough... Suppose I'll read through Partition Magic first.
