re: Question about 'Designate Your Own Drive Letters' Thursday, December 18, 2003 at 9:54 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by LashiCD (1 messages posted) I have had a similar problem with a 2000 system and the solution I found was to use an old 98 boot disk and run "fdisk /mbr". From what I understand is this wipes out the boot record then when on boot up the drives are reassigned. I do not konw it this will work on XP but my guess is that it will.
