Mr. Barnes,
I did NOT offer "misinformation". If it HAD been "misinformation", it
would have been WRONG information. What I reported is obviously
correct. The facts are, a standard installation of Vista (that is,
via booting from the installation media), DOES change XP's drive
letter, whether YOU like it or not.
Go stuff yourself somewhere in the server closet, ok? Maybe light up
a joint or two? Mellow out a little? You've been entering code too
long. You need a rest.

How can so many otherwise very intelligent people screw up
something so simple so badly? If you stick a computer
keyboard in front of most people, they'll suddenly drop
30 points off their IQs. Much like placing a "Pork Barrel"
bill in front of a politician: He'll forget all about
"cooperation" the minute he counts the zeroes before the
decimal point.
