I just installed a new SATA drive after my old drive crashed. I've gotten XP
to load again and all most peripherals working. The problem is that now my
new boot drive is designated as "F". There is no "C". I could live with this
but by default I'm finding most programs are looking for the C drive for
installation. Does anyone know how I can change this to C? I'm thinking I'll
need to reformat, etc. but I'm not sure even if I do that it'll change this
to C. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

You may be able to do this in / Control Panel / Devive Manager /Disk Drives.
 
You need to disconnect any memory card readers/external drives, etc, format
and reinstall XP.
