    Problem: After my drive letters changed in Windows 2000 I was unable to log in.

    Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional with service pack 3.

    Background: I use Norton Ghost to backup my main hard disk to a removable hard disk. My main HDD has two partitions; a primary partition that I use for programs and a logical partition that is used for data files. My backup HDD is a mirror copy of my main HDD, so it has the same partitioning. To make a backup I insert the backup HDD and boot up with the Norton Ghost boot floppy disk. This operation boots up DOS and runs Ghost. After the backup has completed I power down and remove the backup HDD.

    One day I booted up Windows 2000 with both drives connected and logged in. My drive letters were rearranged because Windows puts primary partitions before logical partitions, resulting in the following drive letter arrangement:

    C: Primary on HD1
    D: Primary on HD2
    E: Logical on HD1
    F: Logical on HD2

    After removing the backup HDD I rebooted and tried to log in. I was presented with a message saying:

    Limited Virtual Memory
    Your system has no paging file, or the paging file is too small.
    Please use the virtual memory option of the System applet in the Control Panel to create a paging file or to increase the initial size of your paging file.

    Unfortunately I was then immediately taken back to the login prompt and there was no way I could log in. Even starting up in Safe Mode wouldn't allow me to log in. Using my Emergency Repair Disk didn't help either.

    Resolution Steps:After some research I found that Windows 2000 maintains a record of drive letters in the registry and re-assigns drive letters based on Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) which are recorded for each volume. If the volume's GUID is modified or duplicated (i.e. by hard drive cloning software (i.e. Norton Ghost)), then the original drive letter may not be re-assigned to the boot volume.

    So how to fix this problem? There are several possible ways to fix this but the easiest way that worked for me was to boot up with a Windows 95 boot disk (probably just about any old boot disk will work). Make sure that the FDISK program is on the diskette. Run the following command:

    FDISK /MBR

    This re-writes the Master Boot Record which removes the disk signature associated with the volume's GUID. Windows 2000 then re-assigns the drive letters and allows you to log on.
