    drive letter changed in dual boot win 7/XP


    Hi guys

    I have windows XP pro 32 bit installed in C drive and then installed clean win 7 64bit in drive D. Everything works properly but when I boot from XP, it is in C drive and I see win7 in D drive, when I boot from win7, I see win 7 in C and winXP in D drive. Is it normal or is there any I can do to fix win Xp in C and win7 in D?
    Please help. Thanks

    Windows 7 will almost always see itself as C when you are in it. This has no effect whatsoever on how any other programs/apps function with either OS.

    You can never change the drive letter for an installed OS as it will most def boink your system.
