changed hard drive but computer won't read because it was named L: instead of C:

Hello,

I need a bit of help here...
I just changed the hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite laptop (Vista 32 bit), and added more RAM while I was at it... but in "cloning" the new drive, we named it L: instead of C: (can't have two C: drives - or at least that was our logic). Now the computer can't seem to locate the hard drive because it is named L:

I hope that made sense and I REALLY hope someone can help me!

Thanks!!!

Do you still have the old drive?
From your post is seems you used  the wrong method to 'clone' your drive.
Here is a post I made some time back.

for a laptop you want to find a drive very close the the one you have.  Trying to clone a small drive, like 160 GB, to a huge 2 TB drive might not work.  For some laptops the upper limit might be about 500 GB. I don't know about your Toshiba.

Anyway, when making a clone you never name it anything. As a clone, it must be virtually the same as the original.  Possibly the same exact size. It must have at least one active primary partition.

Hope that is helpful.
