I have an old Dell precision 210 workstation that came with windows 98 se and Windows nt sp4. It had one hard drive partitioned into fat16 for 98 and ntfs for nt. I have an expensive 3d cad software package that I used for years. My hard drive filled up and so after a long battle, I have a second hard drive installed, same type as the original, but larger capacity.
I had all kinds of issues getting everything to work, but now i can reach all the drives, usb and cds. Now the problem.
Doing all of this I now have a: floppy drive, b: nothing, C: windows 98, D: nothing, E: windows nt, F: second hard drive ntfs G: fat16 H: cdrom.
I cant afford to update the software, the company wont do anything for me unless i pay for maintenance for the last ten years. I need the software, But the software files for it to load look for D:..... to run it. The files are on the E Drive, and I cant reinstall them.
I want to use the D: drive, which does not exist,( error message D:\ is not accessible, volume does not contain a recognized file system) by swapping the E: for the D: letters. From what I read this is not possible. I don't know how to go into the software and change the pointer from D: to E:
Any suggestions? I am fairly good with computers, not a programer, but I got this far on my own.
Thanks in advance
