    Hi guys

    I was playing around with my partitions in Vista and shrunk it so I had some free space, then decided against using the free space as a separate partition, so I extended the C partition so it took back the space I'd got from shrinking it.

    But now when I boot into XP which I have dual booting with Vista it recognises the C partition as G!


    I've tried XP's computer management console to rename the partition and it won't allow me to rename it because the C drive is the system/boot volume...

    Is there anyway I can rename the partition back to C to avoid any problems later on when installing software that checks for a C drive?

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice on this. :)
