Changing logical drive to Primary Partition

Asked by jonlegendmaster in Disk Partition Tools, Computer Hard Drives, System Utilities

Tags: , ,

Ok, my computer was working perfectly until yesterday night after i installed service pack 3 on my xp in the D computer and then restarted it.
To start off, i have basically 2 drive, 1 is C and the other one is D, by default when the computer starts the d always run automatically, unless i go down and click the second one that boots the C.
So ya, after i installed service pack3, i restarted my computer and what you know, the D wouldn't launch. windows xp loads but after it just restart and restart with no error message until i decide to choose c or shutdown it. So now i enter C, everything is going good, and i find out that my D drive, has be rename to F,  and dvd is D ,so i quicly went to Computer management in the C computer>> Disk Management and change the path of the dvd to H and the other drive that was f back to D. I was happy and thought i was finish, restart comp and stil wouldnt boot with no error sign. So then back to C i check that my C is a primary partition and the D that i change from f is a Logical drive, so maybe i am thinking, if i change the D from logical drive to Primary partition like the C, all the problem will be fix.
By the way: All the files and programs of the D is still there in their folder.
