Change Drive Letter
I need to have Windows Server 2008 installed on a drive other than C:\.
C: will need to be mapped to a user specific directory for an old foxpro app to work correctly for multiple users.
I am having trouble weeding through the posts to determine if this is possible. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated?
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thanks for posting here.
Windows will always set C: as the driver letter for system partition if you are running Windows server 2008 / Vista or later versions.
Consider your requirement , creating hard or soft link is the way for you to redirect folders to the path you want :
