Ok, so i have 2 problems. Firstly, My DVD drive is not running autorun. Everytime I go to click on the D drive it bring me to the folder of me game(in the case) and doesnt run. I am used to double clicking on it to run and it doesnt bring up the contents of the disk. Can someone helop me fix this.

Secondly, I recently installed a new hard drive and it didnt set up my main drive as the C drive. My main Drive is the I drive. How do i change this? I already tried reinstalling the OS.

EDIT: this should be posted in software shouldnt it? Can you move this mods?

Disconnect all other drives before installing Windows (including CD/DVD drives, thumb-drives & external hard drives). That will allow Windows Setup to assign the letter 'C' as the system drive. Don't reconnect other drives till Windows is completely installed.

Ok i will try that, bus can someone help me with the autorun issue?

The main drive needs to be C drive otherwise you will have issues especially with programs that are looking to install only to the C drive.
There is no "automatic" fix other than what was suggested by phillipcorcoran.

After that is taken care of, then if needed, we can help with the autorun issue because you need to re-install the OS. When you install the OS, anything we do to fix autorun will be wasted.

I made a blunder in my previous post, sorry. Should have said "Disconnect all other drives except one cd-rom drive ! (you need that obviously to install Windows from).

Yes, i figured i needed to leave in the CDROM drive. I reinstalled XP completely and TAA DAA, everything works, autorun and everything. Thanks guys!
