My computer has two drives that are involved. The c drive has 14 gb when my d drive has 60 gb . I found this when looking in the "My Computer" section. I am booting from the c drive. Thanks you.

More than likely you are looking at the seperate partitions of a single drive. The partitions are given a letter designation just as if it was a seperate drive. And as above...what is the problem?

I hope that you know what you are doing. You stated above that you were all ready booting from C which is what you are suppose to do. That info is for changing the letter designations to the drives/partitions....in changing them you may end up keeping your computer from booting (starting).

Hey ham30,
Good day to you!
Just trying to warn the guy! If you know what I mean.

Hi Lurks, Ham. It's sort of a moot point in that Windows won't allow a drive letter change on C: anyway.

Windows always sets a drive partition to C: when it on a single boot. From what I see, it mostly looks info, bt it's alright like this. I would recommend running two partitions.
