Hey you guys. I have a Pentium 2.8 HT. 9800 ATI, 120 GB Harddrive. I should have no problems doing anything with it. My first question is, with WIndows XP PRO, how do you change the letters of your dirves(hard drive back to C:, floppy to A I have a lot of different drives, but they are all crazy named. MY motherboard is an asus, so please help.

ALso, if anyone has Emperor: Battle for Dune, do you know if my drive letters could effect its playing. I cant play the game since I got my new computer. Please help you guys

diskmgmt.msc typed in run will allow you to change drive letters, but if you change whatever your OS drive is on now to another letter you'll have messed things up bad and the only way I know how to fix is reinstall OS 🙁.

Regarding the game what does it do? Which drive is it installed on (OS?)? I install all my games away from OS so my images of C: don't end up being 15GB lol. I have a seperate partition (E that I install ALL games on and have played over 50 (seriously, want the "list" I have) without any issues including updating them. So no, drive letters will not effect it unless you installed the game and then changed the letter, then you'll need to create a new shortcut atleast, or reinstall.

I tried what you said, and it works to change the drives, but I cant change the actual hard drive. Is there anyway to do that at all, i am thinking not

If not, maybe you can help me with the game. The game seems to not want to play. I was told it sometimes has to do with the drive letter, so can anyone help me. It is Emperor:Battle for Dune

Need for info on exactly how the game reacts when started.

When you say "the actual hard drive" do you mean C: (or whatever drive letter it is called now), ie. where the operating system (OS) is installed (XP)? The easiest way to fix that by far is a reinstall of XP. I've tried to change the OS drive letter once...and never booted again (not through safe mode, not through last known good, and not through repair). To give ya a heads up.
