Steven, I already changed the zip drive to another letter, but Windows won't allow me to change the system volume back to C. It tells me it "cannot modify the drive letter of the system volume." I guess that would be too easy a solution, right? Any other ideas? I'm trying to get out of reinstalling, but if I have to reinstall, can I do so by using the destructive system recovery, or do I have to insert the Windows disk and start from the very beginning again?
