I follow the instructions and put in a Samsung SP0411N 40GB HDD in my machine.Jumpered as slave. No problems there. When I boot up it doesn't get recognized because of 'no driver for device'. So I download the only thing I could find for it: DISKGO!. It loaded the HDD after several lockups and now I have my Slave. It plunked itself under "D:" instead of E: or F:. How do I get my drive letters swapped. WinME

Tanks

I have no experience of Win ME but I've found that the following information holds good for everything from DOS to Win 98 so here goes:

A hard disk can have up to four partitions. They can be Primary or Extended, and Visible or Hidden. Only one primary partition should be visible at any one time. A primary partition can be Active which means you can boot from it. An extended partition can contain any number of Logical Drives. A single primary partition on a single hard disk gets the drive letter C: and any logical drives are called D:, E:, etc. If you add a second hard disk with a primary partition, this gets priority over your existing logical drives so it becomes D: and all your other drive letters get shifted upwards. The only way to keep your existing drive letters is to not have any visible, primary partitions on any other disks. The best option is to set up your new disk with a single extended partition, into which you can put as many logical drives as you like. Your new logical drives will get letters starting after your last existing drive letter but before any CDROM drives which always go at the end. Hidden partitions don't get letters at all. They are invisible to your operating system. They can be primary and active and hold other operating systems. You can't do this clever stuff with FDISK. You need something like Partition Magic to set it all up.

Does this make things any clearer?
