Hi there. I just recently bough a new HDD, a WD 80 GB, and I have it installed and I have all the files from my old drive on the new one and set up to boot from my new one with the old one as the slave, however, when I open up windows explorer, it shows my new drive as being drive E and the old one is still showing up as C. Could anyone possibly tell me why this is happening and if so, how to correct it? Thanks for the help :) I'm a Banana

How did you go about transferring your files etc from old drive to new? Did you use a cloning program? Did you just connect the new drive and copy files across? Or did you do a clean instal of the operating system with the new drive in as slave? I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

If you used a clone program like casperXP to copy everything from your original drive C to the new 80gig drive, then all you need to do, is shut the machine down, and change the jumpers on the back of the hard drives, so that your 80gig is now the master, and your old drive is set as a slave. I do this all the time, and windows will think that your new drive is drive C, and in the "manage" section of windows it will show the 80gig drive as being healthy and having the "system" on it.

I did use a cloning program that came with the new disk and the jumpers are set so that the new drive is the master, but it's showing up as drive F in spite of that... cinfused :S I'm a Banana
