Glad to hear you got the Roxio problem straightened out. If you can find that patented device, buy me one too. Here's what looks to be a good overview of the Disk Management tool. I have no experience with these issues so that's the best I can do. 2000trainers.com Here's an article on assigning drive letters support.microsoft.com The Internet Explorer problems. I'd download and install Spybot. Your browser may have been hijacked and keeps reverting to what you don't want. Here's the link to Spybot: safer-networking.org Update it with the current dat files via the update button and then run it and follow the instructions. If you have any questions post them here. That may fix you up. If that doesn't work we can try a repair of IE. Go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and then hit enter. Leave a space between sfc and the / or you'll get an error message. This may also fix the dialup problem

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
