new hard drive and partitions.
Hi all. I have installed another hard drive to my system; it is on the
secondary IDE as a slave- because of the ribbon cable positions. Anyway, both my main HD and this new hard drive have 3 partitions each; 1 primary partition and an extended with two logical devices on each - total of six. Problem is, windows now makes the primary partition of the second drive my D drive. In other words, before the new drive i had C:, D: and E:. I now have C D E F G H, BUT the D drive is from the secondary drive, while E and F are from my primary drive (what used to be labeled D and E). You can see that the problem is, anything I had installed on my original D and E partitions are now a different path. IS there a way to correct this without re-installing the programs or reassigning the paths? Ideally, I would like to keep C D E for my primary hard drive and the other letters for my secondary. Thanks a million in advance. |
