I have a Windows 2000 system that I put two hard drives in because one would not boot so I put it in as the secondary hard drive to get the data from it. When I did this it changed the master drive to D and the bad drive remained C. I have since taken out the bad hard drive and used the Info from the MS knowledge base to change the drive letter back to C. My problem now is that it sees the one hard drive as C and D.???? When I go in Disk Management it doesn't see a D drive but Control Panel does. Has anyone had this weird problem?

I meant My Computer not Control Panel. Sorry about that. The problem was after I changed the drive letter back to C when you looked at the drives in My Computer there is a C and D local drive. Both drives have the same files and if you delete files from D the are removed from C. I say it was the problem because after working on it for a few hours I just reinstalled. I even went into the registry and changed all the D:\ to C:\ and when I rebooted some were changed back to D. I just gave up and now it isn't a problem anymore.
