    Hello,

    I'm new to parallels, but everything has started well.

    I have converted a VPC 7 Windows 2000 image as my basic drive (C). When I open Windows Explorer I find that there is a 2nd drive (D), which is a virtual CD drive containing the parallels tools.

    How can I change the drive letter please? It can go anywhere at the end of the alphabet, but I need to reserve D for my second drive that I will import.

    I have looked under Windows 2000 in Admin > Computer Management > Logical Drives, but cannot discover how to change the drive letter.

    Thanks


    Using MacBookPro with Tiger and Parallels 3188

    Many thanks

    Many thanks. I had actually found that, but I had miseed the VITAL:
    >action > all tasks > change drive letter and path

    Now I have it, and I managed to rid the virtual CD drive too.

    Thanks. Parallels is now nearly up-and-running (with my complex requirements) in under a day, including time consuming conversions from VPC images. Microsoft's Virtual PC took literally several weeks. Both providers could improve on their manuals, but that being said, Parallels is far superior.

    Regards
