Okay, so the other day i was trying to install my palm software on my computer. But it was saying invalid C drive. Because they guy who basically made my computer made my cd-rom drives default the D drive instead of the C drive. So the palm people had me go to RUN, type in cmd and then when that came up type in subst c: d:\ basically substituting the D drive for the C drive or however you wanna put it. but now, my flash drive won't come up because of it. so how do i go and make the d drive back as my default?

Hi Mizde5, welcome to G2G.

Can you explain this a bit better please? What you said doesn't make any sense to me.

"made my cd-rom drives default the D drive instead of the C drive"

Do you mean when XP was installed, your CD-Rom was C: and your hard dive was D: so when XP was installed., it installed to the D: drive?

If so, that is a very weird configuration that is going to cause you no end of grief.

I would suggest that you take it back to who ever installed it, have them connect the CD and Hard drives correctly so the HD is C: and the CD is D then do a Repair iInstall of XP. This will keep your data and most installed programs, though some may have to be reinstalled (Anti-virus, Firewall, etc.).
