// Those who dont have time to read please read just the bold text................................BUT PLEASE HELP


I have a 160 GB SATA Hard Drive with seven partitions:
Windows XP (C)
Windows Vista (D)
Images (E)
Software Setups (F)
Games (I)
Softwares (J)
Songs (K)

DVD-RAM Drive (G) And CD-RW Drive (H)


When I switched on my computer today,I found that my drive letters had changed.Now they were as follows:
Windows XP (C)
Software Setups (D)
Images (E)
Games (F)
Softwares (G)
Songs (H)
Windows Vista (I)

DVD-RAM Drive (J) And CD-RW Drive (K)

I had installed "Anti Blanx" in XP to run the game Total Overdose after which the problem arose.I tried reassigning the letters via Disk Management>Change drive letters and paths and everything went fine after a reboot but the same problem arose after another reboot.......
The drive letters change in XP only.When I boot into Vista the letters are as original.I had installed Anti Blanx also in XP.
I have to change the drive letters in XP again and again through Disk Management to make any game or software work in XP.

"Anti Blanx" have a bad reputation of messing with registry.

I would suggest finding a better alternative. There are a few other, google it. Cannot discuss it here.

I have no experience with Anti Blanx. I think you should uninstall it and then use the disk management (diskmgmt.msc) to change the drive letters.

I uninstalled and removed all its registry entries and now everything is fine but I cant run the game now..............So the only method that I use now is to play the game is to install Anti Blaxx first then run the game and remove Anti Blaxx completely after quitting the game and before shutting down the computer.........

Daemon Tools Lite should serve your purpose. Anti Blanx is too much of a problem.

Alcohol 120% is the best, create as many as virtual drives

automatically detect the images on ur System

Easily mount them

Alcohol 120% is not working with that game......Thats why........Anti Blaxx plays the game perfectly well......
