How did you "copy" the drive? If you cloned it then tried to boot from it with the parent (original) drive still installed then it's normal that the drive would have been assigned a different drive letter. See here for instructions:

When you clone a drive before you attemtpt to boot off of it you should remove/disconnect the parent drive.

I copied my C: drive to another drive to back it up, and now Win XP sees it as the H: drive. How do I rename or cause WinXP to boot on this drive, but call it C:? It used to boot as C: before I made the backup copy? Right now, WinXP bopots from the H: drive successfully, but sme software ahs trouble running on the H: drive. THere is only one partition on this drive, and even when I remove other drives, it still boots as H:.
HOw do I rename this H: drive so WinXP seees it as C:? I have reflashed the BIOS and disabled all other drives, so the hardware is not the problem.
