Is this an impossible task?

I've just downloaded Partition Magic to see if I can even do this, but in the readme for 'known issues' it says:


And there's this page...

So my XP CD 'saw' my new HD, and saw my old HD, which already had 'C' on the old active partition. So yah.. now I'm stuck with a system that has 'G:' as the boot partition.

Anyone ever able to change this, or am i screwed?

Hmmm, XP is a weird animal.

Though its not guaranteed to work.
I dont use XP much, and the more I hear about it, the better I think I am
