drive swap ????

[rfjk]

I have changed the drive letter of my win98 partition. Now all the file paths are wrong.
is there a software package that can correct this??

How did you manage to change win98 partition drive letter? With respect to what? (when Win98 boots, it is active partition, and C: drive is where system files are). Are you talking about dual boot where win98 partition is drive x: in another o/s? (like 2k/XP). In 2k/XP you can use disk administrator to change drive letters.

I have managed to restore my comouter to how it was last night using a partition magic boot disk.

the problem arose as when I last installed win98 I swapped my partitions in fdisk by accident I then installed win98 onto the D: partition.

last night I formatted the C: partition.

the computer then wouldn't boot, so using pm boot disk I swapped D: to C: and reinstalled on C:

I have now swapped back and reinsatlled the missing boot files, but I think will just to a clean reinstall on the C: drive for easier computing in the future.

Thanks for your help
