OS Drive letter not C: as I want it to be.
Good day all,
My situation is, previous OS was Vista home edition, after evaluatiing the Win7 RC, I bought myself a copy of Win 7, installed it on a new hard drive and have been happily using my system as a dual boot one, both Win 7 and Vista working fine. Need has required me to remove the hard drive containing my Vista OS and I'm now using a single Win 7 system. Everything OK on that btw, just that now I have the OS on Drive M:, not C: where I would like it to be.
Having had a read through on the Boot Drive letter allocation posts, I've established that it is impossible to change the system boot drive letter.
I would prefer not to have to do a full re-install of Win 7 and all my programs, but if that is the only way so be it. I believe I'm right in saying that even doing a full backup and then re-installing Win 7 wouldn't be of use as the backup would be looking to restore to the M: drive.
My question then would be, how do I ensure than a new installation of Win 7 WILL select drive C; to install to ?
This might be self evident when a re-install is started, but I'd like to be one step ahead here and know what's coming.
Any guidence would be most gratefully received here.
All the best,
Mick C.
