So I had a hard drive crash on me and had to re-setup my computer all over again. But for some reason it put my c: drive as the card reader on my printer... and my hard drive is F:

Is there any way to switch it? I need to install a license for a program on the C: drive otherwise it wont work.
 
I have a similar problem. I have 2 hard drives and for some reason my other hard drive is C: and my XP installation is on E:. I haven't figuired it out how to fix it on mine, but you can try unplugging the printer?
 
Right click on "My computer" and select "Manage".
Select "Disk Management"
Right click on your card reader and select "Change drive letter and paths"
Change your reader to "G:", apply, ok
Now, right click on the blue bar that represents your C:
Select "Change drive letter and paths"
Change it to "C:", apply, ok
Restart your PC
If you want, you apply the same to change the erader back down to F:, after you have restarted
 
It said something about how it couldnt change boot volumes or something. I had another partition that I hadnt even formatted yet though... so I just made that C: and hopefully that will work ok. Thanks Link.
