Hello, I installed a new, larger, WD HD and used drive image to make a copy of C. These are my issues. Please help. Thanks

My desktop is H but the program files is C so everything is all mixed up. I changed the label of each drive but it now says DriveC(H) How do I change H to C (not just the label) - I only changed the jumpers - do I really need to swap cable ends? **edit -I will change it

Posted Image

**edit - I switched cable ends and rebooted and got boot error. I put cables back - boot ok.

The lifeguard CD that came with the HD does not do anything when I try to open it.

"change drive letters and path" and enter the new drive letter

you can't change the drive letter of the partition where you have your windows installed using the disk manager

YAHOOOOOOOO! -

1. In Disk Management - format new HD and DO NOT ASSIGN DRIVE LETTER
2. In Drive Image - Copy drive and DO NOT ASSIGN DRIVE LETTER
3. Unplug old drive and change jumper to master in new drive
4. Boot - will automatically assign to Drive C
5. Done
