and vice versa. I let it start up as normal, and the desktop was like when
first installed. Opened Windows Explorer and c: drive was in fact the former
slave. Former master was now one of the other drive letters. All the other
drives were there, but with different letters.

deletion process. So I moved them back to a safe place on a drive.

I confess. When you were eating I was modifying your settings. Sorry.
I regret what I did. I'm glad everything turned out all right
You'd be better off posting to xp.general than xp help.
And uncle, why did you remove the other ng from the list? Does your
software make you do that or did you want to exclude them? It would
help Snuffy (What a name. Reminds me of Snuffy Smith. That's why I
attacked your computer in the first place.)
