   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.
