I have successfully set up my system to triple boot into 7 and two XP installations. One of those XP installations I like to keep clean (it's for music production) and I was unhappy with it.
So, instead of trying to install XP from scratch I dropped a clean installation of XP into the partition using Paragon and used Easy BCD to create a new entry to point at it.
So far so good... except that this new installation sees the "system drive", the one with Windows 7 (and I presume the various boot files) on it as being the D drive and I would like to keep that letter for the data drive common to all the OSs.
Even though D is not the drive XP is installed on - that is C and Windows sees that as the "Boot drive" - Windows will not allow me to change the drive letter of the "system drive". I'd like to change it to something out of the way such as Z or even hide it completely because when I'm running XP I should never need to go anywhere near the Windows 7 partition.
Anyone any ideas as to how I might do that?
