Used seagate disk wizard to install a new sata drive. Goal was for it to be the system drive.The disk wizard copied the data to the new drive but after setting the bios and booting up to the desk top without icons. It went no further. I used norton ghost to clone the new drive.
Changing the bios I was able to get into the program. But the new drive was G and the system was C. I searched the knowledge base for the proper way to change the G drive to
the system and the now C to the back-up drive. ( It appears the this is where stupidity took over)Using a Microsoft document Q22318 "How to restore the system boot drive letter.
I followed the instructions.Basically it took you into the registry and changed C to a higher letter and G to C and thenthe higher letter to d.
My computer still boots up and operates properly. If I go to install a program by install from the G drive. Norton system works shows that I have 3 drives C,D,G. G is the exact copy of G. To make things worse because I kept changing from one hard drive to another through the Bios Norton system works was deactivated. I can't even restore a ghost backup. I have to send my disk to them with a good excuse for what happened and I might get a new one back.My computer window explorer and disk management does not show a G drive installed.But the ghost is there.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to straighten the drives out.
Thanks in advance for any help.I should have used the new drive as my backup.
