I recently had to wipe the hard drive of a new computer (Intel mobo, core duo E8400, 500GB Seagate drive) clean because it had developed some problems (like having to reboot after coming out of standby or hibernate), and no system restores or Windows XP repairs did anything. I use a program suggested by J & N computer support, where the custom computer was build. It's called "AEF", which you run from a CD. It destroys the partition on the HD. However, the only option I could find when I ran it was "delall", which deletes all partitions. When I installed Windows, it assigned drive letters to the card readers FIRST, and the HD last. So now my HD is H: and my CD/DVD writer is G: IOW, it assigned the letters in reverse order.
Diskmgmt.msc will not allow you to change the boot drive letter. I would rather not have to destroy the partitions again to get it to make the boot drive C: (how do I do that, anyway when the Windows install disk seems to have a mind of its own?). Is there any commercial software on the market that will allow you to change the boot drive letter?
