Theres no simple way to do that without the BIG risk of loosing data. It is assigned when you create your O.S.\nYour boot up may be affected if you change this also. So jus dont. Its not worth it!

if you're running windows, goto my computer, right click and goto Manage, in the console that opens up goto disk managment, and rename the drive you want to, by right clicking on the drive you wish to change and using the "Change drive letter and paths" option in the popup menu that opens up.

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.

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.

Do not delete the C drive. Use this drive to store files.\n\nIf you want you can reinstall XP, but that is a different situation.

No. There is no eay way. Perhaps the easiest is to simply buy another hard disk (if you can actually install one in your hardware) and install a fresh copy of the operating system on it, making it the a new c drive, but this raises some particular issues. Some applications (and many operating systems) require that certain files (configuration stuff, for instance) be on the same drive from which the system has booted (or on which the application is installed). So changing to a new drive like this will involve some obscure issues dependent on not so obvious details of how this or that program (including the operating system) was designed and implemented. \n\n==========\nThere are some things you'll have to think about here, before you do anything at all. I'll assume you aren't going to get a new hard disk, and discuss the problem as you laid it out. Namely, reformatting the existing C drive and reinstalling your system on it. \n\nDo you really need to reformat? You may be able to reinstall Windows over itself, and if a damage Windows file is part of the problem, escape without the major pain of reformatting. \n\n========\nFirst, without the installation CD (or copies of all the files from it) you're sunk. I'm not sure from what you say whether you have a copy of the CD on your second drive or not. If you don't ... Trouble lies that way. \n\nSecond, You must backup everything you have on the C drive that is not reinstalled from the distribution disks. And you must be certain that whatever backup method you choose will be able to actually read the backup formatted files after the reinstallation. It is not unusual, sadly, for some backup programs to be unable to actually read in the backup files it creates. \n"Backup" includes the operating system (Microsoft has dropped support for 98 and for SE, so you would be well advised to update -- my suggestion is to 2000, but some folks are willing to settel for 2000 Lite -- ie, XP. Or even to make this your opportunity to switch to a vendor who poses fewer problems -- the main option as I write this is one of the kind_of_Unixen), Linux -- my favorite is the SuSE distribution). And "backup" includes application files as well. Identifying just which files these are, and where they are is not always easy. Clearly all your pictures and documents you've written and would qualify, but applications (and operating systems) usually have several configuration files, history files, backup files, index files, ... which it will save time to have copes of. But, if an application doesn't provide for saving these and reinstalling them over a fresh installtion of the application, ...  There will be problems here as well. You might have to reconfigure some or all of your applications (and the operating system too) after reinstallation. this is a pain, but may be unavoidable...\n\nThird, you must be certain that any new hardware you've installed will be recognized by the Windows boot routines at reinstallation time. It might be wise to start a reinstallation (with the intent of cancelling it essentially immediately) to test whether the BIOS will call up the Windows installation routines from wherever they are, and whether they will be able to find the new hardware. Since hardware support (ie, drivers and design troubleshooting) for 98SE has mostly been dropped, increasingly more hardware will not be supported for 98SE.  Without support, you'll have to write your own drivers -- not recommended.\n\nFourth, you must, when reinstalling, configure your software in ways which are compatible with how they used to be configured, lest there be odd (perhaps fatal) happenings from the incompatibilites. Some things don't matter -- like icon colors or the shape of the cursor, but some will.\n\nFifth, keep a record of what you did and why at each step of the way, starting before you begin backing up. Include all instructions (and options) and the immediate re

A computer expert may know how. I don't think there is any way for us users to do it.\nThe suggestions you received may be correct, but make sure you get a second opinion before trying any of these solutions. Altering your computer's config should be done with great care.

Double-click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop.\n\nIf you are trying to use a floppy disk it will probably show up as drive A.\n\nIf you are trying to use a CD or DVD it will probably show up as drive D (or E).\n\n\nIf you meant that you want to open a "folder" on drive C, then just go to drive C in "My Computer" and double-click on the folder.

There is no shortcut that you can create, as this is being readas a Mass Storage Device, which means that the associated drive letter is dynamic depending on the available Active drives in My Computer...
