Dual boot Win7 & XP, XP partition drive letter reassignment?
I searched for my specific issue but haven't been able to find it.
I've a dual-boot setup with XP Home SP3 and Win7 Pro 32bit on one hard drive, data on the others, and two DVD writers.
After Win7 was installed, the XP partition received the letter D:
This screwed up my optical drive letter assignments.
Shown in the pic is Disk Management in Win7. (In XP, the Win7 partition shows up as I:, which causes no problems)
When I went to change the XP partition letter to X:, so that I could reassign my opticals to the standard D: and E: letters, I got the message shown in the box.
My question is, is it possible to reassign the XP partition's letter, so that I can get D: and E: back as optical drive letter assignements? Will reassigning the XP partition a letter other than D: screw up booting Win7?
