Drive letters are stored in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\MountedDevices. Use RemoteRegedit to load the registry from the hard drive and navigate to that key then scroll to the bottom of the right hand pane and look for "\DosDevices...". It would be a good idea to backup your registry (%WINDOWS%\system32\config) first.

Thanks for ur help, in regestry i ve 2 mountedDevices> MountedDEvices and Mounteddevice 1 which should i go in?

[pcuser]

It's still at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\MountedDevices\DosDevices...

[qwer]

Ok then i can find Some dosdevice/D to N, but the drive i wanna change is C to H, but there isnt any C there...

[pcuser]

Are you sure you're using RemoteRegedit and loaded the registry from your hard drive and not just Regedit that's showing you the registry from the booted cd?

[qwer]

Maybe the best thing would be to explain how i arrived here...

I was on Xp with 2 partiton on the same Harddrive> H was for the windows xP and c for my media *movie,music,picture* (dont ask me why it wasnt c for xp and h for media, i dont know)
Well then i bought Seven and i wanted Seven to be C on another hard drive, so i asked Partitionmagic to change the letter © to D, like that i could install Seven on the new hardrive on c and keep the other hardrive with xp on h and media on D, but when it restarted to change the letter, impossible to login on Xp because Xp(h)became C (i don know why) and Media became D like i asked... So know all i want is Xp to come back on H and media to stay on D. Hope it could help u to help me

the only software i found with a similar name was Regedit (Remote) isnt it the good one?

How to load the good registry from the good partition?

Drive letters aren't always the same in UBCD4Win as they are when booted from your hard drive. Which drive letter in UBCD4Win has your xp installation on it?

[qwer]

I think it is C, not sure how to check it, but i think C

[qwer]

Another idea i had is to take off my current hard drive, set the other hard drive, format it on install Seven on it with drive letter C, then put both harddrive on and start on windows Seven, then from t her i normally coul put xP on letter H no?

[qwer]

I can confirm u XP is now on C... But how to put it back on H??? PLease dont let me alone

[qwer]

Here is where i am

I ve installed Seven and it works great. from Seven i can see that seven is on C, XP is on H and media on D. When i start and try to log in XP, first a message of PM say that the changement of letter had a problem and then impossible to log in. When i boot on the CD of XP, and try to repair XP, impossible to finish the repair, just before the reparation ends, a bluescreen come and tell me about an error like 0x0000000050.

So please help me

UBCD4Win, Seven and XP can all have different drive letter assignments so simply saying that Seven is on C, XP is on H and Media is on D doesn't mean much unless you tell us what the drive letter assignments are when booting Seven, XP and UBCD4Win.

When you're booted to UBCD4Win, which drive letter has your Seven installation? Which drive letter has your XP installation? Which drive letter has your Media?

Is this what you need?

When booted to Seven: Seven is on C (doesn't matter what drive letters are assigned to XP and Media partitions)

When booted to XP: XP is on H, Media is on D (doesn't matter what letter is assigned to Seven partition)

[qwer]

When i am on UBCD XP is set on C and Seven on D i think

Edit: But what would it change then, if we change the letter on UBCD, it wont be the same when i boot on XP or Seven, and there would always be the same problem.. no?
