    How can I change the letter of drive with Windows XP installed ?

    I have a SATA HDD formatted to NTFS. And my Windows XP installation resulted in the letter J: instead of C:. So do you have an idea why and how I can adjust it so that Windows XP is installed on "C" drive?

    I have no solution for you, but it would not be so embarrassing to have J: instead of C:. All software should support it (no hard coding in C). So even if you do not want to waste time you can leave as well.

    Have you tried using:

    Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Computer Management-> Storage-> Disk Management (Local)

    No, you can not change the drive letter of the volume of the system or boot, at least in xp pro!

    I just had the same problem this afternoon, but it was letter H in my case! I reformatted the hard disk and reinstalled the OS. It helped me.
