I recently built a new PC with 80 GB HDD with a atecflash Internal Pro III Multiple Flash card Reader. When I installed XP Pro it assigned Drive H: to my 80 GB HDD. The Card Reader got Drive C, D, E, & F. I was able to rename the drive for the Card Reader but I cannot rename the HDD. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can't change drive letter of system drive in XP using disk management. (for 2k, but I think works for XP too) is a workround for this - but with warnings.
You could reinstall with the card reader disconnected (then XP drive would get C
- then connect card reader & it will be assigned other drive letters - leaving XP on C
PS. XP will run happily on H:
