Hard Drive "Config" question...

I installed a new 20 gig HD yesterday and lost use of a program that runs off our at work network. The program is dos based and we have 2 machines here that run windows 2000 and this program. There have been no problems at all until now. The only thing that has changed is my map networked drive letter. It changed from F: to G:. Nothing else has been changed, so I am assuming that has somthing to do with the program no longer running.

Now I have checked the shortcut to the network based program and it has changed to G: automatically.

Now is there a way for me to change my new hard drive from drive F: to say G ;(

Any other possible idea's as to why the program doesn't run? I click my shortcut and the screen goes black then switches back to windows before the program has a chance of running. Kind of frustrating.

Like I said, the hard drive was the only thing added to my system. No other hardware or software has been added and no settings changed. Help?!?

I found my problem...

There was a batch file that needed editing. But I'm still curious, can you change your drive letters easily in win2k?

Go to Administrative Tools --> Computer Management.

Click on Disk Management, then right click on the drive you want to change the drive letter off, and select change drive letter.
