IF you are physically trying to hide one of your hard drives you can do that from the my computer screen otherwise Xp doesnt allow you to place on drive in another to get rid of one of your drive letters

it's very simple. all you do is insert the disk into your computer. is it a CD or a floppy? if it's a CD, you pull up the file you wish to save and click on Save As. this should pull up a menu. you want to change the top part to say drive D or E disc instead of documents or whatever it's under right now. you do the dame thing with a floppy except you select the A drive.

The easist and most user friendly program I have found for hard drive copying is called CASPER XP. You can even back up your C drive while you are in it. I have 4 hard drives (two are backup ones) and I use this program all the time. They have a free version you can use to copy the whole drive. \nhttp://www.fssdev.com/products/casperxp/

This is quite easy.  We'll configure your existing hard drive to be a master drive and your new one to be a slave drive.  Here's how:\n\n0. Print out this guide and any other reference material you have.\n\n1. Turn off your computer.\n\n2. Pull all of the cables out of the back, including the power chord.\n\n3. Get a screwdriver and open the case.\n\n4. Have a look around inside and look for a flat (thin) but wide grey cable going from your motherboard (the big circuit board at the bottom of your case where everything plugs in to) to your existing hard drive.\n\n5. Make sure there is a spare plug on the cable.  One of the plugs will be going into your existing hard drive.  Also make sure that there is space in the metal rack where the hard drives go, and that there are screw holes in the rack.\n\n6. Unscrew the hard drive and unplug the IDE cable (the flat grey cable) and the power cable, and remove your existing hard drive.  \n\n7. At the same end where the cable went in there will be a series of pins.  These are called 'jumper' pins and they're used to determine whether or not the device is master or slave.  Two of the pins should be covered with a thin bit of plastic that joins them together - this is called a jumper.  (see the URL in the sources section below).\n\n8. Look on the case of the hard drive for a picture of which pins to cover to make the hard drive a 'master' drive.  Remove the jumper and put it back on the appropriate pins.  Use a pair of tweazers if it helps.\n\n9. Look at your new hard drive and configure it as slave (using the jumper pins, just like in step 8).\n\n\n10. Place both hard drives back into the computer in the metal racks, and remember which is which (maybe use some sticky tape temporarily to mark one of them).  Screw them both into the racks.\n\n11. Attach the master hard drive, your old hard drive, to the very end of the IDE cable (the flat grey cable).\n\n12. Attach the new hard drive to the middle plug in the cable. (see the URL in the sources section).\n\n13. Attach power cables to both hard drives.\n\n14. Put your computer case back on, but don't screw it in yet.\n\n15. Plug in your power, monitor and keyboard and turn the computer on.  Hold down the 'delete' key on your keyboard immediately.  This will take you to your computer 'bios' screen.\n\n16. Select the first option in the menu.  This should list the hard drives that have been detected.  If both hard drives are in the list then you're done.  Screw the case on properly.  If not, double check the jumper settings, the IDE cable and the power cable.  If you can't get it to work, DONT PANIC! Just take your computer to your local computer store and ask for help.

First go to start menu, then all programs, then Accessories, then Command Prompt.\nNow Type "Convert C: /FS:NTFS" (Without the Inverted Comma).\nYou can change the drive letter from C to anyone.\nBut I Recommend you not to convert your files. It'll slow down your system.\nTry to move all files from one Drive to another, then format the Drive, and then move the files to the Formatted Drive.\nTo Format a drive, right click it and click format, then choose NTFS as file system.

Changing internal hard drives is pretty simple.\n\n>>I'd suggest you visit one of the links referenced below and read it carefully before you attempt anything. <<\n\nVisit your PC manufacturer's site for instructions on how to open your case and physically remove the hard disk\n\nIn short , to replace a hard drive,\n\nUnplug and disconnect all cables going to your CPU, ground yourself or use an antistatic wrist strap to be safe.\nOpen up your case, trace the cables going from the motherboard to your harddrive and unplug them.\nUnscrew the exisiting harddrive from its bay and remove it.\nPut the new drive into the drive bay and secure it using the mounting screws. Re connect all cables that you disconnected inside the case. Close case, then reconnect all external cables. and you are all set.\n\nMind you, identifying the C vs D is more complicated. Depends whether your disk is partitioned. \n\nIf you only have single partition on a disk, then it is usually drive C. \n\nIf you have multiple hard drives with single partitions, then the disk connected to your primary IDE controller is generally drive C.\n\nIf you have multiple internal partitions and only a single physical drive inside your PC, then your drive C , D and any others are all logical seperations inside the same disk unit.

This makes no sense.  There are no keys that control the hard drive.  The programs and data on the PC control it.\n\nWhat are you trying to do.

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be attempting this.  The command is FORMAT d: where d: is the drive you wish to format.  You can also run DISKFIX ... please, there is no recovery from this at all.\n\nIf you're getting rid of an old computer ... that's a different story.  We should probably have this conversation off-line ... my contact info is in my profile ... IM me and we'll figure out the best way to accomplish what you want to do.

Use the Disk-Management snap in.\n\nIf that doesn't work do this:\n\n\nThe following method involves some risks (as is the case with all modifications done to the registry) but if you know what you are doing I'd say your chances of messing it up are close to null.\n\n   1. Log on as an Administrator.\n   2. Start Regedt32.exe.\n   3. Go to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;MountedDevices\n   4. Click MountedDevices.\n   5. On the Security menu, click Permissions.\n   6. Verify that Administrators have full control. Change this back when you are finished with these steps.\n   7. Quit Regedt32.exe, and then start Regedit.exe.\n   8. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;MountedDevices\n   9. Find the drive letter you want to change to (new). Look for "&#92;DosDevices&#92;C:".\n  10. Right-click &#92;DosDevices&#92;C:, and then click Rename. Note You must use Regedit instead of Regedt32 to rename this registry key.\n  11. Rename it to an unused drive letter "&#92;DosDevices&#92;Z:". This frees up drive letter C.\n  12. Find the drive letter you want changed. Look for "&#92;DosDevices&#92;D:".\n  13. Right-click &#92;DosDevices&#92;D:, and then click Rename.\n  14. Rename it to the appropriate (new) drive letter "&#92;DosDevices&#92;C:".\n  15. Click the value for &#92;DosDevices&#92;Z:, click Rename, and then name it back to "&#92;DosDevices&#92;D:".\n  16. Quit Regedit, and then start Regedt32.\n  17. Change the permissions back to the previous setting for Administrators (this should probably be Read Only).\n  18. Restart the computer.

It's already done. Double click on the desktop symbol "network environment" and select "Computers in your neighborhood". There you should find all computers connected to your local LAN. That symbol is similar like a drive symbol.\nThe only thing you have to do, is enable or "free" all that folders where you want have access to. Right click on a folder and select "Enable Folder"? or smth like that.\n\nP.S. sorry, i don't know the exact designations, i have a german OS.

Hmm, it would seem that you tried to do something to a disk drive that doesn't exist.\n\nIf you're trying to do something with your floppy drive, that's the A:/ drive.  Your main hard drive is usually C:/ and your cd drive is either d:/ or e:/
