There was just one surprise that frustrated me for a little  
while.

When I booted with the SSD in place, [1] many desktop icons  
lost their associations. Consequently, [2] the same programs  
could not find their installation locations.

The origianl HDD was divided as C and H.  Since C was a piddly  
35GB maximum size (and getting used up pretty fast) and H was  
the remaining 200GB, I had gotten into the habit of installing  
future programs on H over the years.

But the SSD process created an E partition in place of the H  
partition.

I could simply go through all the shortcuts and change E to H,  
and the associations.  That worked on a couple of them.  But I  
still remained discouraged since I had numerous programs and  
references to H in various places!  Even my Tables in MS Access  
had numerous references to H, and I was *not* interested in  
reprogramming those in my various databases!

I was still discouraged when I learned that XP did not support  
an ASSIGN command!

However.. after calming down, and having a look at the  
partitions with XP's Disk Management tool, I realized that all  
I had to do was right-click over the E partition, and it  
provided the option to change the letter.
