Question

Will the E drv default to C and relabel all files and folders C

What are my options

Answer 1

If you remove the C hard drive, it will relabel your other drives.

Your operating system is probably on C:. Look for the drive that has a "WINDOWS" or "WINNT" folder in the root (it's nearly always C:). You will probably have to install your operating system again.

If you are using IDE drives (they have the 2-3 inch wide flat cables), you may need to change the E: drive from "Slave" to "Master" to make it work. This may be done by changing the cable plugged into it, or it may be done by changing a jumper switch on the back of the drive itself, depending on how old your machine is.
