Can I use recovery console to change drive letters?

Recommended Posts

Long sotry short, I installed XP Pro to my new sata drive (Raptor) while keeping my two 60 gig pata drives in the system. Windows installed by defalt to drive e:\ on the sata drive. My system seems to see the pata drives as primary and sata as secondary. Anyway, system has been running fine. I am going to sell my good friend some parts from my current system. Mainly the two pata hard drives. I took both drives out and upon starting my system, the SATA drive is now c:\ and my system won't boot. Can I use recovery console to change the letter of my boot drive back to e:\ so I can boot up again? I can't seem to find the answers I need on the web. I can always re-install everything from scratch again, but I rather not go that route. Any idea's?

Try playing around with map,fixboot,fixmbr and bootcfg /rebuild.

 

And copy nt boot loader files to 'new' c:

copy CDROM:\i386\ntldr C:\

copy CDROM:\i386\ntdetect.com C:\

 

Or just perform repair installation.
