Hi Jerry, What happens if you reassign new drive letters from Disk Management? For some reason my new "C" drive is F. The slave drive is now C. What would happen if I switched them with Disk Management tools? You probably noticed the warning in the Microsoft page on disk management referenced by tc: Changing the drive letter of the system volume or the boot volume is not inherent to Disk Management. Which drive has your windowsXP os on it? That would be the boot drive, because it boots into the OS. The system drive (counter intuitively) has the active boot.ini file on it. The disk management graphic display of your disks will show you what's what. I'm guessing C is the system drive and F the boot. What happened to E? If that is the case, you may not want to mess with your setup, unless you are willing to reinstall OS and programs yet again. But if C is system and boot (would just show as system, but there would be no other drive showing boot), you can probably change it without much consequence. Thanks for the Firebird suggestion. Assure me there is no adware or other cost of the browser. Esteban
