My Computer Is reading off of my H drive instead of the C Drive and I know they are backwards and it is causing me alot of problems such as the lsass.exe error and the blue screen of death with the CONFIG_LIST_FAILED I know I am going to have to Reinstall my OS but I was wondering if anyone could help to guide me through switching drives back around. Thanks alot.

This usually happens when Windows has been installed whilst your memory card reader is connected. Disconnect your memory card reader (If its a built in card reader, it will usually have one cable that plugs onto a port on the motherboard, just unplug it). After you have reinstalled Windows, just plug the card reader back in.

Ok well im not 100% sure where that might be I think I have a good idea which it might be thought. so after I unplug it and get everything reinstalled then I need to plug it back in and it should fix itself?

Yes.
Unplug it, reinstall Windows then plug it back in and it'll come up as (probably) Drives E, F, G and H.

Ok I will give it a shot I am picking up the windows xp cd today after work. Its a last resort to the problem I have been having does anyone know anything about the lsass.exe System Failure I have another post on it just havent had anyone comment it back. Thank you all for your help very much.

Yep, just open your case (left hand panel usually, unless its a Dell where you take off the right hand side panel), then trace the cable from your card reader to the Motherboard and just unplug it. Then reinstall Windows (I take it you have already backed up your data), then once Windows is installed, just shut your PC down and plug that cable back in and you should be fine. Unfortunately, there is not a way to change the H: drive to C: drive without reinstalling Windows, been there myself

Yea I understand and I will start doing that Her computer will start up and begins to boot then when it gets to the windows screen where it has the little loader under the Windows XP it dosent actually load anything and it will just reboot itself everytime. Not Sure why it started to do it either.
