dont mess with the boot.ini file


Example.

you have 2 drives on your pc.

c: <--You can not change this drive letter because it is the system volume drive

d: <-- you can change the drive letter to e:, f:, etc


So in other words, you cant chanage your D: drive to C: without a format because its your system drive

Ok first off i only have 1 drive in my pc. Secondly for sum reason my hdd is named D and i never had a boot.ini file in D:\WINDOWS.
So i think i should use what the other guy told me and make that boot.ini file. Can i just change the professional to home or is there sumthing else i have to change too?

Thanks
