I have a PC that had XP Home installed on the C drive. I installed Vista HP on a second disk drive which is the H drive. Everything was running ok for a few weeks although the backup service for Win Home Server would not run - I was suspecting that this was due to some sort of problem on the C drive. I also wanted to make the h drive bootable so that I could remove the c drive in the future when I no longer needed XP. I temporarily added a couple of more hard drives to the system as I wanted to clone both the c and the h drives.
When I went back to the original setup I could no longer boot into Vista properly. When I ran the system repair on the Vista install I noticed that it seemed to think that my Vista install was on drive D rather than drive H. I tried going to the command prompt and changing the Vista drive letter to H using diskpart - I was able to make the change but when I rebooted it seemed to go back to the old letter mapping.
How do I force the drive letter on my Vista drive to be H? Presumably to work correctly it must be H as this is the letter it was upon installation and lots of things will be hard coded to this drive, will they not?
