Dual-boot drive letter mess after image restore. I have a dual-boot xp/vista setup using microsoft's bootloader. The booting os selected drive always gets assigned as drive C:. I use Acronis' True Image to make hard drive image backup's of my 2 os partitions and mbr and have successfully used it to restore the hdd. That was until I used the latest version of TI the first time. It created the image ok and I could explore it successfully using TI. However, I recently had to restore my hdd and now the chosen boot os drive gets assigned drive letter D: instead of C:. This is true for both os'es. Both os'es create a temp user settings area and I can only run some default windows apps like My Computer. Acronis has been no help so far. Last time I had a boot problem fixmbr or the vista restore facility would only fix 1 of the 2 os'es and I ended up completely re-installing vista again to fix it.
Can anybody give me a better solution this time around? Thanks.
