During the installation of WinXP on a new computer, it assigned drive letter C to my zip drive and drive letter F to the hard drive. Following instructions in the help file, I have now re-assigned the zip drive to drive letter G, but the help file gives no info on how to change the boot drive, just says it can't be done. Many of my software programs refuse to run unless the hard drive is labeled as C. Can anyone help?
