Default XP HDD Change

Sorry for the confusing title, but I really have no idea how to describe this.

Basically, I was installing a new hard drive (no RAID) and changing that to my boot drive. However, in the middle of file copying, my computer spontaneously restarted, leaving me stranded at the logon screen with no usernames. After tooling around with it for hours, the only way i could fix it was installing a copy of XP Pro (I have XP Home on my first HDD) on the new drive. However, now I want to uninstall XP Pro since I can access my first HDD. Also, my C:\ has changed to the new hard drive, leaving many system processes and program inaccessible.

What I want to know is, how can I uninstall the new copy of XP Pro and change H:\ (the new letter for the old HDD) back to C:\?

Thank you for your help!

Default Re: XP HDD Change

Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum.

Firstly when you boot your PC do you get a choice of operating system to logon to?

If you are you able to logon to XP Home?
