Re: how do i change drive letter?
Not quite....you do actually have a choice and there are 2 ways of doing it.
1. You should be able to boot off the Upgrade CD and during the verification
stage pop in your XP media assuming you have it.
2. XP installed you should have the option during the vista upgrade of
performing a clean install which will completely wipe your drive.
Read the prompts carefully and you will see the clean install option.
