I am having a similar issue as gswkaiser...
Finally having succeeded at installing Vista Ultimate, I proceeded to install a number of basic programs and tools. I then used Acronis Disk Director to copy the image of this installation to another partition.
The original installation is on a partition labeled Vista1; the copied installation is on a partition labeled Vista2 (creative and catchy names, huh?).
Easy BCD works fine, and boots me in to either of these Vista installations, as well as my old XP.
Booting into Vista1, this install sees itself on drive C, and sees the Vista2 partition as drive G. No problem here - everything works fine.
The problem arises with Vista2, which, when I boot into it, sees itself on drive G and Vista1 on drive C.
This might not be a problem, except that the original OS and all associated software was installed on drive C, and looks to drive C for its operation. Therefore, after I log in to Vista2, it operates off of Vista1. So what I need to do is reassign the drive letters for these two partitions, so that Vista2 sees itself on drive C, and sees the Vista1 partition as a different letter.
Unfortunately, the disk management utility in Vista does not permit me to change the drive letter of the boot partition, so that when I am booting into Vista2, I am stuck at drive G.
How can I manage to reassign the drive letter for Vista2 to drive C?
I've attached a snip of my disk management status.
Thanks for your help (again),
Dennis
