Change Driver Letters in Windows 7
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from RC to RTM, and was disappointed to find that it is identical in every way except for the wallpaper and a new glitch that was not present in the RC: Windows 7 now decides its own drive letters. Before it just took the same drive letters that xp used. I dualboot xp and 7, and when I boot xp, the letters are normal (xp is on "C", 7 on "M", HP recovery partition on "D", extra files on "N", backup partition "Z"), but here in the wonderful world of RTM 7, what was formerly Drive "M", is now "C", "D" is now "G", "N" is now "F", and if thats not puzzling enough, "C" is now "E". Did I catch 'em all? That's right, Windows 7 managed to confuse every single drive letter, a problem I never had in the RC.
Is this fixable? Can they all be returned to their original state? I'm thinking of buying a laptop and don't want the same nonsense inflicted on that when I dualboot xp and 7 on it, can it be dealt with beforehand?
Thanks.
