I shoved in a new HD into my computer yesterday replacing my old one. After I get 2k up and running, I installed Partition Magic to divide my 40GB into 2 20GB. After it was all done, the problem is that the D Drive which is suppose to be the partitioned drive, is the CD-ROM and E became my parititioned. Anyone know of a solution?

not sure if this is in 2k, i know its in xp .

go to Control panel, Administrative tools / computer management then click on storage, then on Disk Management.

from there you can right click on the graphs that represent your drives and select change drive letter and paths.

:: be careful this is where you can partition and format your drives.

FAILED connection to Logical Disk Manager Service.

I’m going to try Merging and then split again.

Fixed. I merged everything back, disabled my CD-Rom drive, parititioned it, then re-enabled CD drive. Thanks!
