    So I was always wanting to change the drive letter of my primary hard drice from F: to C: so I followed the tourtrial from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;223188 so I can change my drive letter because I couldn't change the drive letter from the "Manage" too. So I followed the steps I renamed something from C to H: and the renamed the registry from F: to C: so I restarted my computer and then the Windows screen with the blue backgoirund comes up. And it just stays there the whole time so do I have to restart windows or am is there a way out? I also DO NOT have a backup of my registry. All though I do use spybot which does do a system restore.
