Ok I got back into windows. Now it rearranged my drive letters.
I changed them back except for one. Which is my swap file partition. Let me step back for a second to explain my layout

20 gig HDD
Partions as followed
c:\WinXP 4 gb
e:\Programs 15 gb
f:\swapfile 1 gb

4 Gig HDD
d:\games

Nows its

C:\WinXP
f:\programs
e:\swapfiles

ok when I went to change drive letters I change programs to E:\ and swap to H:\

So once the change in letters where made. I wanted to change the swap file back to f:\ But F:\ isn't showing up. So I went into where you set the swapfile the PROGRAMS files showing up as E:\ and F:\

I would like them back to they were before my not being able to boot into windows ordeal. Programs in the registry will be looking for E:\ not F:\
 
What your gonna have to do is goin into your control panel and open up computer management and then use the disk management tools to change the letters and such. I vaguely remember their being an option to swap drive letters and it will change the drive letter instances in the registry for you, i'm not 100% sure but give it a look see and lemme know ifya have any trouble

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
