    partitions letters changed after win7 installed

    Hello,

    i have dualboot os. win xp pro and win7 ultimate.

    my original partitions letters is like that:
    c-win xp
    d
    e
    f-win7

    after i installed win7, when im using win7 the partitions letters had change:
    f become c - win7
    c become d -win xp
    d become e
    e become f

    when im using win xp all the partitions letters come back to original.

    how can i keep the original partitions letters on win7?

    tnx
    david.

    You can change all the letters you want if you Go to Stuart > Run, and type diskmgmt.msc

    Could you provide a s screen shot on Disk Management Make the window bigger so we can see all partitions
