I've been booting with a Western Digital 20GB drive with a WD 80GB slave. Hoping to switch boot drives, I copied the contents of the 20GB drive (Fat32) to the 80GB drive (NTFS), switched jumpers on the drives, made sure the 80GB was being recognized in the BIOS as the primary boot drive and booted (XP Pro). My Computer continues to list the 20GB slave as the C: drive and the 80GB primary drive as the D: drive. when i disconnected the 20GB drive, XP hung during the boot. Do i have to switch the names of the drives? what am i missing?
