I have three hd's. A 300GB seagate for media storage and miscellaneous files, an old 74 GB raptor for storing downloads, and a caviar black partioned into a windows xp, windows vista, windows 7, programs, and games folder. in windows, ( under ctrl panel, administrative, etc) I changed games to G:, programs to P: storage to M: and have blank OS's installed on the three window partitons. I want XP to be C:/, vista to be D:, and 7 to be E:. How do I change the drive letter without being in windows? Once you install an OS, you obviously can't change the drive letter using the ctrl panel/ administrative options way. Another strange thing is that when I go to install windows and I am given the choice to install windows on a specific partition, all my renamed partitions such as games being G: and downloads being Z: are all shown to be I: and J; respectively. Was my change merely reflected in windows and if I install the os again, I'll have to rechange those drives? I don't get it.
Also, how do you delete a chunk of unallocated space? Usually that is the left over space that wasn't partitioned, but I have two chunks on one drive. One is 215GB and the other is 35GB. I want to create a 250GB partition that would combine both unallocated spaces, but it won't let me. Why is this? Thx!
