Quote:Hi, :)

I'm not playing WoW at this time. And Partitioning is not my forte, I tried many times and failed, here is a nice Free utility that will help you:
Hmm, I see that Partition Wizard has a Change Drive Letter function. No Microsoft tool that I know of will touch the drive letter of the boot partition. Partition Wizard warns you not to change the drive letter of the system partition, but it does not say anything about changing the drive letter of the boot partition:

I also found this MS KB article warning not to change the system/boot drive letter, but how to do it anyway. The article does not apply to Windows 7 but might work anyhow:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;Q223188


I also read about a MS tool, Bcdboot, that lets one change the location of the boot files. In other words Bcdboot can change the location system volume. Unfortunately my boot files *are* in the right place, that is on the correct partition. I just want the system volume to be called the C: drive. Is that too much to ask? And why does MS call the volume with the boot files the system partition, rather than the boot partition? Am I the only one to get confused?


Better, though, to install Windows with the correct drive letter to begin with. I am reading about Windows PE and the Windows Automated Installation Kit. More information than I wanted.

However I still hope to force the Windows 7 boot partition to be the F: drive by getting dual boot to work and having two extra drives connected at installation time. That is, my system partition should be C:, the next drive should be D:, the third drive should be E:, and the boot partition should end up as being F: -- wish me luck!

And if anyone could tell me how to make the "Insert Link" tool work on this is site it would be nice. Insert Link works for me on other sites.
