It looks exactly like you described it. F is what is usually described as C, and is both the boot and system drive. I suspect the Linux drive lettering somehow messed up the XP original assignment. Who knows why. Sooo... I would think you could rename C if you want to, but switching F to C could cause problems. I know F is the one you want to be C. There's really no problem with the system set up as is. You'll get used the drive nomenclature, don't you think? You could try switching any of the letters after making a clone image of your drives in a program like Ghost or BootItNG. That way you can just restore the image if it doesn't work. BootItNG offers imaging, and non destructive partitioning facility (like Partition Magic) in one low cost package. Langa thinks it's a great program. It also offers easier to set up and more sophisticated multiple booting than XP does. I use old versions of Drive Image and Partition Magic. Making regular backup images of your system and program drives is an excellent reason to partition. Here's a post from a past discussion of the merits of partitioning. Not a lot of information there, but maybe you'll find it helpful from a partition philosophy point of view. Message 19042389 Esteban
