      <![CDATA[<p>Another way to alter the drive letter designation is to disconnect all drives except the one you wish to designate as 'C', this includes any other hard drive, usb, cd rom etc and not forgeting the printer and usb hub. Then clear the on-board memory by moving the clearRTC jumper to its alternate position for 5 - 10 seconds, return it to it's normal position and reboot with only the drive you've selected connected. The drive should now be designated 'C'. Shut down and re-connect all the other drives the system should now be as you wish.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I have a new Garmin GPS CD I need to install a program to a virtual C: drive. Garmin does not allow you to pick a drive they assumed everyone has a C: drive. Mine is not there,</p>

<p>I got a little further with your outline above (the one with the screen shots)however, even though it starts to read the CD it stops and states: "The specified path it too long C:\Garmin" <br />
It just asks if I want to cancel or retry. Retry does not work.</p>

<p>Then I tried Shane's 12 point step but when I try and change my I: drive to C: I get this message:</p>

<p>"Windows can not modify the drive letter of your system volume or boot volume".</p>

<p>Any suggestions??</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>This may help my situation, but I want to ask something before I try it...<br /><br /></p>

<p>My old system had two hard drives, both attached with a ribbon. Well, my boot drive died, so I got a new sata drive to replace it. The sata drive is far bigger than the ribbon drive that remains, so I installed Windows XP Home on it. Well, everything worked great, but the drive defaults to E: and the old ribbon drive is C:. Well, all of my games refer to E:, like they are supposed to, for install. But then when I try to run them they crash. I'm assuming because they can't find the C: drive path they need to work. <br /><br /></p>

<p>So I have two questions: 1) Will creating this "Virtual C" help my problem? and 2) What do I do about the existing C: drive, since it reads as a System drive and windows won't let me change the path name of it.</p>

<div class="leocomment">Why don't you just remove the failed drive?

      <![CDATA[<p>Thanks! That solved my problem! I ran into one little snag that I was able to figure out on my own, though. My computer had assigned "C" to a removable disk drive, which kept me from making a virtual C drive. So I just re-assigned the "C" drive to some other letter, and then I was able to create that virtual C drive. Anyway, thanks a bunch for your advice!</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>What is the correct solution to this man's problem?<br />
*******************************</p>

<p>Hope but it does not work for me.<br />
I just bought a brand new PC.<br />
I installed windows XP SP 2 and he made the following drive letter assignment<br />
C: Removable disk<br />
D: Removable disk<br />
E: Removable disk<br />
F: Removable disk<br />
G: DVD drive<br />
H: Hard disk !!!</p>

<p>Now I frequently have the message : Insert a disk into the drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR3.<br />
I think this happens when some program tries to access the C:</p>

<p>Worst, when I launch the disk manager, I have an error : Cannot connect to logical disk manager. File not found.</p>

<p>With your tip, I'm not allowed to assign the virtual drive to the C leter because it already exist.</p>

<p>Can you help me ? Thanks</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>I have had this problem before, this has happened mostly on HPs, when I format a computer get it ready for Xp install it reads the memory card reader slots, just remove them from the mobo before xp install.. that will fix the different drive assignment.. also if the programs are looking for F: drive go into the registry and look for software then change the install directory.. u should see them say like F:\programs.. just change f: to c: that will fix ur problem its a time taking process but u can do it just for the software u are about to use.. :)</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>This sounds like it may help me, but I'm not sure. My situation is this...I installed a new hard drive that automatically became drive f. This new hard drive was assigned as the master and the old hard drive the slave by me. I formatted the new hard drive with the Windows XP disk. The old hard drive "c" gave up the ghost. When the "c" drive was working, everything functioned properly. Now that there is no longer a "c" drive, my system restore, search function, and Internet Explorer don't work. Do you think this virtual c may help my situation?</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Hope but it does not work for me.<br />
I just bought a brand new PC.<br />
I installed windows XP SP 2 and he made the following drive letter assignment<br />
C: Removable disk<br />
D: Removable disk<br />
E: Removable disk<br />
F: Removable disk<br />
G: DVD drive<br />
H: Hard disk !!!</p>

<p>Now I frequently have the message : Insert a disk into the drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR3.<br />
I think this happens when some program tries to access the C:</p>

<p>Worst, when I launch the disk manager, I have an error : Cannot connect to logical disk manager. File not found.</p>

<p>With your tip, I'm not allowed to assign the virtual drive to the C leter because it already exist.</p>

<p>Can you help me ? Thanks</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>My problem is similar but not identical. When installing a new harddrive, it was designated F. I changed the designation successfully to C. Existing program files for software and data continues to want F. This includes MS Office programs and documents created using these programs. How do I change the addresses from F to C? I tried the virtual directory solution and it does not work.</p>

<p>Hope you can help because this should be fixable since all data and programs are still on the hard drive (now called C as it should have been originally).</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I got this exact problem ... thing is I'd rather have a real C drive then a virtual one (don't like workarounds like this). I have a paragon partition manager which lets me change drive letters (and spends a lot of time doing so, so I imagine it changes all registry keys that point to the previous drive letter or something). Thing is it won't let me do it to the active drive. Is there really no way, even with the program to do this? ... I've tried booting from another partition but this partition shows itself as C when I'm in it (and when I'm on my primary partition it doesn't, strangely enough).</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I had this problem with Yahoo Instant Messenger after my C drive crashed and -- to make a long story short -- my new primary drive was assigned the letter "I" by the system.  This problem was compounded when I installed an external USB hard drive for full system backups, and the system assigned that drive the letter "C".  When the external drive was connected, I had no problem with Yahoo Messenger, but when the external drive was removed, the problem reappeared.  I solved this by creating a batch file and placing a shortcut to it in the "All Users" start menu.  It first deletes the latent Virtual_C folder if one exists.  Then it looks for the presence of a "C" drive.  If the "C" drive is present, no virtual drive is created. If the "C" drive is NOT present, the virtual drive is created:</p>

<p>@echo off<br />
IF EXIST \Virtual_C rmdir \Virtual_C<br />
IF NOT EXIST C: mkdir \Virtual_C<br />
IF NOT EXIST C: subst C: \Virtual_C</p>

<p>It solved my problem beautifully!!  I can now connect and disconnect my backup ("C") drive with no impact on Yahoo Instant Messenger. Thanks for the tip!!</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Why has no one meantioned the fact that critical system files are always on C:?  Always.  NT kernels use 5 system files to boot.  In this order:</p>

<p>NTLDR<br />
boot.ini<br />
bootsect.dos(boot into 9x OS or DOS, if present)<br />
ntdetect.com<br />
ntbootdd.sys(for scsi and raid)</p>

<p>The two files that have comments are not required.  However, if a person were to remove C:, all those files go away, causing Windows to be unable to boot.  It just shouldnt be done, unless the user wants to try a repair or reinstall windows.</p>

<p>Why make C: arbitrary when it should always be first, to avoid headache.  None of the companies I work for install XP on any other drive, besides C:, unless its a dual boot situation.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>In XP:<br />
Start > Run  Type Regedit and hit enter</p>

<p>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices </p>

<p>Find the drive letter you want to change to (new). Look for "\DosDevices\D:" where the D: is the drive letter that is the current root and C: is missing.</p>

<p>right click the field and rename. Change the D: to C: and close Regedit. Reboot and you are complete.</p>

<p>in Windows 2000 you had to use regedit32 or something like that.</p>

<p>My issues were that my Tape drives and/or Zip drives would be C: and the CDrom was D: because they were installed by factory in the primary slots. The HD on the Secondary string ended up being F:. I went into the "properties for my computer icon" and clicked Manage. Then disk management. Change the Zip and CDrom to other drive letters. Use the Regedit command above and then reboot. all is well after that.</p>

<p>The other comments are inventive, but this is the straight Microsoft way to fix your drive letters.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Yes, your C: is definitely too small. Unfortunately there's no reliable way to move things off of C: after you've installed Windows to C:. (There are hacks that I'm sure people will jump in with, but in my experience they are unreliable and will cause mor problems over time than they solve.)</p>

<p>If you can't repartition, then I would:</p>

<p>- move the swap file to D: or E:<br />
- set the system environment variables TMP and TEMP to a directory on D: or E:<br />
- direct IE to use a directory on D: or E: for temporary internet files.</p>

<p>I'd then clean off the old, respective equivalents on C: and see how much space that gets you.</p>

<p>Sadly installing more software is likely to continue to fill up C:.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Same exact problem (except my hard drive became "E:") - and my iPod was the application that was looking for the "c:" drive.  Apple support gave me a Microsoft link with a regedit procedure to change the boot disc back to "c:", but everything I've read above says that may be a bad idea.  I will try your fix and see if the iPOD will work with my pc.  Thanks.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I can't do that from within that version of windows because it fails to boot up. I tried using an IDE HDD in a removable drive bay with WINXP & P/Magic installed and although it changed the drive letter on the raid set up back to C: in that operating system, I don't believe it could affect the settings within the WIN XP installed on the raid system which still refuses to boot as it has it's own uniqu settings. </p>

<p>Fortunately, I found a ghost image I had of the raid0 drive which was several weeks old. I burnt this onto the raid and it worked, but of course my system and programs work as they did sveral weeks back and I am still in the position where I need to change my operating system path from I:\ to C:\ and at the same time have the disk recognised as a C:\ drive byt he operating system on the raid drive.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I have the same problem, but I used Partition Magic 8 to change the drive letter from I:\ to c:\. This was the worst thing I could have done (it was late at night & i was very tired - big mistake). Now my system won't boot up. My boot up is a dual raid0 system. I have a temporary IDE drive in place to boot from. My files were backed up, but I have an operating system with extensive programs and settings plus my windows XP pro setting anmd configurations, Netscape 8.0 Bookmarks, MS. Outlook email (& extensive calander notes etc) etc that I haven't been able to access. </p>

<p>It goes through half through the boot up sequence and I then get the dreaded blue screen of death that I haven't seen since WIN98 days. It says it the batch file or something like that is corrupt. I know that it is still looking for the operating sstem commends on i:\ when the path to them is now C:\ <br />
Can I edit the file from another WinXP Pro operating system? <br />
I read somewhere that I can do a search and replace from I:\ tp c:\, but can't find the site that gave me the instructions. But these instructions may have been done within the same operating system</p>]]>
