Hard Drive Letter name

[Brian]

My hard drive is now set up as the (F drive and my zip
disk is the (C drive. How do I reverse them?

You can't. XP's boot drive letter cannot be changed without a complete
install.

And he'll get an error message stating
windows can not change drive letters on
the boot or system drive.

Which is why Windows XP has to be re-installed without the zip drive
attached. In Windows 2000, you could do a registry change to affect the
behavior, but not in WinXP because of Windows Production Activation and
other cryptographic related components.
