I’ve found how to format my drive, I change my SATA cable no1 to my new hard drive, and I let my old hard drive not connected. When I insert Windows XP installer, it was recognized and I do the installation as usual. After all installation process done, I connect my old hard drive to SATA port no.2 and now my PC boot from new hard drive. But now I found something strange and a little disturbing me, my partition where I put all program not labeled C but E. Can anybody help me how to change it to C? Because label C has been used for removable drive slot on my printer (my printer has USB slot for UFD, HP Photosmart D5160).

Why force users into the command line? Just use GParted like most Linux users this century.
