Question Changing drive letter

[luki1997a]

Hello:tiphat:
I have this in "My Computer" window:
C: <-- boot partition(100MB)
D: <-- Windows XP installed
E: <-- Vista(I'm not using it now)
F: <-- Windows 7(--||--)

I'm currently using XP only. My PC boots directly into it. (<-- boot files at Cntldr and etc.)). In past in Vista and 7 C: was system partiton(windows has changed letter?) So it looked like:
C: System
D: XP
E: Vista
F: boot(hidden, 100MB)

But on XP it makes me nervous, because my system partition is not "C".

Is there any way to make C: partition invisible and change letter of system drive to C:??

I want this:
C: XP
D: Vista
F: 7
--hidden-- boot

Yes, yes I know- I've to change a lot of configs of my system, but I've installed it yesterday so it shouldn't be a problem.

HELP!

Don't.

Windows doesn't care where your boot drive is. It is normally on C but because you have several installs it's using different drive letters.

If it works LEAVE IT ALONE.

If you start changing things you WILL end up in a world of hurt.

OK:thumbup:
But is there any way to hide C: drive? I've done it in Disk management in Windows 7 but I can't do it in XP.

Start -> run -> compmgmt.msc -> Disk Management -> Right click on the drive you want to hide -> Change drive letter and paths -> remove

done.

Start/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management.

Start -> run -> compmgmt.msc -> Disk Management -> Right click on the drive you want to hide -> Change drive letter and paths -> remove

done.

But that won't allow you to remove, nor change the letter of boot or system drive.

Yep orb. It doesn't work.

System Windows cannot change or delete letter of boot or system drive.

Correct. It just hides a partition which is fine for any non-system partition. The one thing you don't want to do with the boot or system drive is mess around with it.

so, why it worked in windows 7? its boot files were also there

EDIT:
Is there any way to don't allow programs and users to write data on this little partition(C)?? I often get warnings about low disk space on C. That's because my programs stores data on C.
