Hi. Keep in mind I'm not very knowledgeable with a lot of things with the computer, though learning more all the time but....

At first it was set to boot from CD which was a royal PITA because it kept wanting the windows CD in every time I would start up. Took a HUGE chance and went into the bios *was always told to stay out by my computer guy but he's not available very much anymore* and read the options and it's set to boot off *and am going strictly on memory so wording isn't exact* HDD1 <--or whatever it says to that effect.

However, the drives came up as listed: D,E,F & G after the two 40's were put in replacing the old 40 that was sounding so bad plus an old 12 I had in there. The drives SHOULD read, in order of size: C:40, D:120, E:40, F:CD-RW. It's the C that reads as G and it's this that refuses to change despite doing as suggested in the first reply. Because of this, some things just flat out refuse to install. At first I thought it might be because there was residue of windows on the one drive but it was reformatted to wipe it clean.

I dunno why it's doing this, is frustrating and I've been trying to read up on it but guess I'm not looking for the right thing to get the right 'fix'.
