Guest Marten Nahlin Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Hello, I have recently built a new PC with a new disk among other things. After install I notice that the disk is designated I: so i come here to see what to do. The answer I have found is to do first remove other disks (zip etc) and then a new install of XP. There seems to be no other way (that I would like to try) to change the name into C:. Now the question is do I need to do a clean install, together with reformating the drive or will a repair installation do? Thank you.

If Windows was installed on drive I: and if you want it on drive C: then your only option is a fresh installation. Everything else will result in an unstable system.
