Change your drive letters around so it is D, and move the others up one letter. If you are wanting an extra partition create it when you first get to the desktop. With this setup I don't see any reason why it won't come in as drive C.
This will insure a clean install from scratch. During the install delete the partition and let XP create a new one. I would unhook the ZIP drive, make certain your hard drive is pinned master and on IDE/0 and on the end of the ribbon cable. It's a little tricky but you can figure it out I'm sure. This will require you to move your intended last drive up an extra letter to start with, move the other drives to the letter you desire them to be, then move the last drive back down. Your OS drive letter will still be the same and the other drives will come back in as they were.Ĭhanging drive letters will work on your other drives by first creating an empty spot for the lowest letter drive. Unplugging your other drives and booting up the computer might fool Win98 or ME but it won't fool XP.
