Solution...

I ran into this problem with ghost 10 on an XP system just yesterday.

Its a brand new gateway pentium d with 3 serial ata disks.

Disk0 80gb 7200rpm (windows)
Disk1 80gb 10000rpm (empty)
Disk2 250gb 7200rpm (empty)

I wanted to copy the windows to the fast 1000 rpm disk. Initialy I was partitioning and formatting the disk before running ghost. This cause the problem with the disk being labeled d:.

The fix:
delete all the partitions on the destination disk. When you run ghost tell it to copy the C:\ drive to the open space on disk1. When it completed. I shut down the computer. Disconnected disk0 and moved disk1 to SATA1 port on the motherboard.

Viola new disk is drive C:\

It's too bad ghost10 even lets you choose a drive letter. It should ask you what your intentions are and hide the option if its for a system upgrade of a root disk. This eliminates all the trouble the previouse entries run you though in the registry and recovery disks.

Hope this helps.
