jenae,

Your suggestions are very intriguing! Here is what I come up with:

It almost seems that my root directory and home path are based upon E: (if I read it correctly). However, what worries me is that there are a lot of references to C:

My intention is to wipe (format) the current C: drive (my old drive) so that I can boot from E: [which I want to re-designate as the new C:]. I already have copied all the files on C: to E: so I believe I can format C: without worry if I know my system is booting from the OS installed on E:

Can you suggest a process, e.g., what about using Partition Manager to format C: and rename E: to C: and then perhaps make additional changes to (??) Environment Variables [I'm kind of ignorant in this area !!!] so that everything refers to C: before the next re-boot occurs?

Thanks again for your ideas !!!!
