Same problem for me.
Just built a Terminator 2 machine from ASUS, very nice machine by the way, with a
Pentium Celeron 2400 and installed XP PRO SP1. The T2 has a built in bay with 4
USB card readers (for all kind of photo camera memories - Compact Flash, SD, etc).
What happened is during the Windows installation it set the Boot HD as H: while C:,
D:, E: and F: was set to the card readers. It is simply impossible to change the
H: back as C: since it is the boot volume. The recomendation from the technical
guy from where I bought the machine is to disconnect the cable to the small electronic
board (card readers) to disable it, and reboot. Didn't help. His new suggestion
is to format again the HD and install windows with the card readres cable disconnected,
so Windows will set the HD as C:... hmmm, lets try, but I wish it would have an easier
way... By the way, all other sort of attempts were tried; disable at hardware configuration
on control panel - system, tried to change Drive Letter at Right Click my computer
- Management (can't do it for boot volume).
