Please help me I am in a mess.
With help, I recently added 80GB hard drive to my PC. I still have a factory installed hard drive of 20 GB on my PC too. This is my first experience and have never done this before. I have also never worked with partitioned hard drives before.
After the hard drive installation I partition the hard drive as follows:
Factory installed 20 GB: C:/ drive Windows 98 SE
60 GB of new hard drive: D:/ drive Windows XP
Remainder of new hard drive (20 GB): E:/ drive Protected Files.
My problem is When I run Norton WinDoctor I keep get ting these error messages about my partitioned drives:
Directory \WINDOWS\System32 moved for drive C to D.
A removable drive has been inserted or removed or a directory was moved to a new drive causing drive C to appear as drive D. These problems should not be fixed automatically.
In my D:/ drive I use My Computer and click on, and open my E:/ drive so I can drag and drop files from my D:/ drive to my E:/ drive. I also copy files from my E:/ drive to my D: drive as I need them.
Could this be causing this problem? If so how can I drag and drop or send files I wish to send to my E:/ drive without causing these error messages and causing my C: drive to appear as D:/ drive? Also how do I get my C:/ & D:/ drive to appear as themselves?

You probably installed the new drive as master on the IDE chain. Swap it around and the drive letters should fix themselves. Make sure to adjust the jumpers on both harddrives to account for this, and if you use an Ultra DMA66 cable, you have to make sure they are connected to the proper connectors. IIRC, the master goes on the end, but I'm not sure.
