I wanted it to be C, just like I had it since I was a kid .. <br /> <br /> ==HOW==<br /> <br /> 1. Make a full system backup of the computer and system state.<br /> <br /> 2. Log on as an Administrator.<br /> <br /> 3. Start Regedt32.exe.<br /> <br /> 4. Go to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices<br /> <br /> 5. Click MountedDevices.<br /> <br /> 6. On the Security menu, click Permissions. <br /> <br /> 7. Verify that Administrators have full control. Change this back when you are finished with these steps.<br /> <br /> 8. Quit Regedt32.exe, and then start Regedit.exe. <br /> <br /> 9. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices<br /> <br /> 10. Find the drive letter you want to change to (new). Look for &quot;\DosDevices\C:&quot;.<br /> <br /> 11. Right-click \DosDevices\C:, and then click Rename.<br /> <br /> Note You must use Regedit instead of Regedt32 to rename this registry key.<br /> <br /> 12. Rename it to an unused drive letter &quot;\DosDevices\Z:&quot;.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> This frees up drive letter C.<br /> <br /> 13. Find the drive letter you want changed. Look for &quot;\DosDevices\D:&quot;.<br /> <br /> 14. Right-click \DosDevices\D:, and then click Rename.<br /> <br /> 15. Rename it to the appropriate (new) drive letter &quot;\DosDevices\C:&quot;.<br /> <br /> 16. Click the value for \DosDevices\Z:, click Rename, and then name it back to &quot;\DosDevices\D:&quot;.<br /> <br /> 17. Quit Regedit, and then start Regedt32.<br /> <br /> 18. Change the permissions back to the previous setting for Administrators (this should probably be Read Only).<br /> <br /> 19. Restart the computer.<br /> <br /> ==LINKS==<br /> <br /> [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223188 How to restore the system/boot drive letter in Windows]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Windows]]</div>
