Changing the system volume drive letter safe?

It depends. Need some more information. Is your boot volume c: ? If so, then others can be changed around as needed, but there may be collateral damage. Usually, if there are pointers set in the registry, as long as you use the storage management plugin to change the drive letter assignments, most things should work.

Trouble comes in the form of applications that keep file system information (folders, path names, etc) in files that are stored in directories during installation. Those usually cannot be changed easily, unless you know that they are there and where they are....

What drive letters are you trying to change specifically, and what is the operating system

 

Changing the system volume drive letter safe?

Ever since I reformated, my drive letters have changed besides C:\ and I would like to change back the other 2 drive letters.(One being the system volume letter) just so the programs I use to have still work. Is this safe? What are some negatives?

 

MBR of RAID volume overwritten, OS fails to boot. Help.

I've screwed up, big time.

My machine has a RAID 0 of two 500GB drives. The resulting volume stores my Windows XP installation. Its contents are vital. I installed an additional 80GB IDE HDD to install Kubuntu. During Kubuntu's setup, those 500GB drives were displayed as is, and not as the resulting volume. I was able to make sure the right drive (hdc, that 80 GB HDD) was partitioned and formatted, but the grand screwup came where in the "finalise" step, you have to specify where the boot-loader has to be installed. This option was hidden in a seperate dialog that comes up on clicking an "advanced" button somewhere. Well...the installer wrote the boot loader to (hda), the first member of the RAID 0 volume, when the installer doesn't recognise the volume itself and only its member disks.

Windows doesn't boot, neither does Kubuntu (shows Grub error 15). I need a way to recover data from the volume. I'm hoping the volume's contents are intact, though its MBR is gone. How do I boot Windows?

I can't use a WinXP boot floppy made from another system, since the boot floppy won't recognise a RAID volume. Should I boot the machine with the Windows XP install CD + AHCI driver floppy and install the OS without formatting the volume, so at least I could safely move my files to another drive even if the resulting OS is unstable? Ideas please.
