    Change boot settings


    I cant seem to find the boot file in windows 7 build 7600,

    i'm dual booting, when I installed 7, 7 was C: and vista became drive d:

    but i have storage hard drive which is always drive d, so I made vista drive f

    so how can I fix the boot file in 7 to change the drive letter for vista install?

    One solution:
    Right click MY COMPUTER
    Select Manage
    Disk Management
    Right Click the Vista disk
    Select Change Drive Letter and Paths
    Select Remove

    This will free up the drive letter designation and remove that drive from visibilty within Windows/Explorer.

    You can now use the drive letter (freed up) as you please. You will not have access to your Vista Install.

    Stick with SIW2 then.

    Of course, I mean that you can still boot to it.
