problems with windows re-install
I've just done a full windows re-install.
Only problem is windows has automatically assigned drive letters and my audio drive that was E: is now C: and my program drive which was C: is now D:
this means my live sets cant find any audio because it's looking in the wrong drive.
Live has no search function and I have to locate each file individually.
Thats going to take forever.....
anyone know how to change drive letters or fix this problem another way?

well... you just installed windows on the wrong HDD right ? When you install windows, it gives you the choice of the HDD you want to use. I guess you chose the wrong one. Maybe it would be faster to re-install it on the right HDD ?
Best of luck,

Check to see if there's a windows folder on your other partition.. I don't think you installed it from scratch, meaning... there's a part during a re-install that specifically asks you whether you want to install over your current windows folder (which it doesn't recommend) and if you click through it without reading, it will install a seperate windows folder on another available drive. If you do a reinstall and pay attention to that question, you should be back to square one. My recommendations are always install from scratch, don't try to re-install or upgrade, and then make a drive image with a utility like Ghost... it'll save you alot of hassle in the long run.. Cheers.

The only time that the "Standard PC" mode can be recommended with XP, is when you are experiencing audio card or other problems (possibly relating to IRQ sharing/stacking), and only when you have exhausted all other possible causes.
If you have one of the more modern motherboards that has APIC capabilities, then it is definitely recommended that you install Windows XP as an ACPI computer.
In fact, installing Windows XP as a "Standard PC" on an APIC compatible computer will probably result in reduced performance and a reduction with overall reliability.
