    Ok, just to update this in case anyone else looks at the thread with the same problem, I've got my original old C: drive back to the letter it was changed to "F:" after I fitted my new drive, and so now it boots again...

    I did this using a rather cool boot disc similar to the Windows XP boot disc called UBCD4WIN. Worth a look if you can't access a drive like me, I didn't really understand what it was doing but it lets you run like a virtual windows for diagnosis software on your sick drive... kinda cool.. I accessed regedit through that.

    So I have both drives are bootable again which is kinda good but I'm still now stuck with my original problem that I really need the newly appointed F: to become C: again as it was originally and so my software doesn't keep asking me to register everything again... So just to clarify:


    If i boot into my orig 60Gb drive I have: 60Gb (F: ) and 250Gb (D: ) This is the F: and i need to be C: again
    If I boot into the new 250Gb drive I get: 60Gb (C: ) and 250 (D: )

    I've read through the link above and other related stuff and I can see that before installing windows on my second drive I should have partitioned it so that it wouldn't have a conflict in lettering and shifted my original C: to F:... Or at least that's what I think has happened.. I'm assuming there's not a quick fix for this, but I'm a little lost with what to do do now,....

    thanks for helping, any suggestions??
