Changing The Default Hd.

Would it be possible to change the default drive of Windows? I.E. let's say that XP is installed on Drive C:, making it the default drive. Would it be possible to make Windows believe that, for example, Drive Q: is the default drive?

Isn't the default drive the one with the OS installed on it?

That method doesn't work. I also deleted System33.

anyway, if u change the default HDD, your pc won't start up because windows is not installed on the other drive that u have change to default. I believe that u can change the default HDD by going to control panel > Administrative tools > computer management. there u can change your settings on HDD, u can even make HDD partition with that.

Just go to Start - Run and type msconfig

Click the "BOOT.INI" Tab.

Select which partition you want to be the default.

And click Set Default.

You can also change teh amount of time you wait by default in the "Timeout _____ sec" box.
